About Granada:
Granada is the capital
city of the Nicaraguan department of Granada. The city is dominated by
the Mombacho volcano. Granada aspires to being the future of
Nicaraguan tourism after catching the attention of tourists from
particularly France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Granada was founded in
1524 by Francisco Fernández de Córdoba and was long the principle city
in the Nicaragua region of New Spain. It was raided by pirates from
France and England in the 17th century. Granada remains Nicaragua's
third largest city and is known for preserving some fine colonial-era
architecture. Granada is the most agreeable city in this country. A
city with history and charm and a large central plaza surrounded by
old Spanish colonial buildings. A city with little streets for
meandering, neighborhoods for exploring, and style. The people dress
better here than in Managua or elsewhere. The buildings
are painted bright blues and greens and reds.
The women walk proudly to and from the market balancing baskets on
their heads, smiling, and holding hands with each other.
