Thank you for all of your comments. The buildings were very boxy and most were made from concrete blocks. Only the fronts were painted. Architectural design was not a high priority in most homes in Ecuador. However, there were amazing historical Spanish buildings and churches.

That is amazing, Esther. All the houses and the colors make a wonderful pattern.

Wow! Wouldn't want to live at the top if the pub was down the bottom...getting home would be a nightmare! A fascinating view and capture. I like the splashes of colour.

Almost the entire city was on a hill. It was rather challenging at that altitude just to walk around.

Buildings were constructed in a helter skelter and haphazard manner. They were far more interesting to view from a distance.

There are houses everywhere - most of them box shaped.
