Colonial Granada, Nicaragua

Granada – Nicaragua
Granada is a beautiful city with very well preserved architecture. This was the first city where the Spanish arrived. Many of its churches and the Spanish colonial style can still be seen in some of its houses. Walking through the streets, enjoying the central park, and going to “the beach” are some of the things that make your stay in Granada – Nicaragua a little more pleasant. The market is also a good place to get a taste of the culture of this city.
While in this city we discovered the passion for baseball and boxing. Football is not a famous sport and people generally don’t play it.
