Granada, Nicaragua


GRANADA, NICARAGUA

March 7, 2017

 Granada is the oldest colonial city in Nicaragua.

This town is filled with great markets, carriage rides, beautiful old churches and picturesque volcano scenery.  Streets are filled with vendors and crafts and the locals are very friendly.  Nice quaint town to visit in Nicaragua.


Catedral de Granada is the mother church of the Diocese of Granada.

Construction of this cathedral started in 1518 and was completed in 1561.
It's a beautiful piece of history and architecture.

This hostel has all of the comforts of home.  Nice rooms, free wifi, free computers use, free pancake breakfast, use of the kitchens, an indoor pool and all the hammocks you could ever want to relax after your day. I highly recommend this hostel. Staff was helpful and friendly.
