About Esteli:
Estelí, the main center
between Managua and the Honduran border, is a quiet, pleasant,
friendly town in a valley between the mountains, and it's a good
stopover on the way to or from the border. Capital of the department
of the same name, Estelí is the center for the surrounding
agricultural area, where tobacco, grains, sesame, potatoes, many other
vegetables and fruits and also livestock and cheese are produced.
During the Sandinista years many farming collectives were
established in the region around Estelí, and many
internacionalistas came here. There was heavy
fighting in Estelí during the revolution, and
the town continued to be one of
strongest support bases for the Sandinistas. Estelí, along with
León, was one of only two important cities where the FSLN (Frente
Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) won a majority in the 1990 and 1996
elections. As the major city between Managua
and the Honduran border, and the capital of a
large department, Estelí has a large number of places to stay
and eat.
