Some Impressions of Granada

Granada is Nicaragua’s third largest and oldest city and retains its traditional Spanish colonial character. We explored the city for two days, went out, walked along the old cobblestone streets and enjoyed the colorful painted buildings.

As a summary it may be stated that Granada is a really beautiful city but we good recommended not to walk in certain areas and especially at night time always take a taxi for safety reasons.

How we got to Granada: Ferry, chicken bus and squeezing into a tuk-tuk 😉IMG_20140610_112718IMG_20140610_112804

As you can see its rainy season (May – November) therefore it rains most days in the afternoon, but the average temerature is still around 25° C.IMG_20140610_160947
