"La ciudad blanca", Sucre is a white-washed, pristine city with many grand buildings, dinosaur footprints, a free theatre and an excellent choice of fruit due to its proximity to the lowlands. The movement for independence in Upper Peru, which became Bolivia, centered in Sucre and it is the constitutional capital of Bolivia. Sucre has lost the administrative and legislative branches of government to La Paz, but it remains the judicial center and seat of the Bolivian Supreme Court. With one of Bolivia's most important universities, it has a lively student culture with cafes, galleries, bars and discos catering to young people. Much lower in elevation than La Paz, but much above the torpid climate of low elevation cities like Santa Cruz, it has an almost ideal climate, fairly dry with cool nights and comfortably warm days. http://wikitravel.org/en/Sucre
