Tomorrow, Feb 4, we leave Granada. It has been a wonderful place to spend time. It is a colonial town that reminds us very much of colonial towns in Mexico such as Oaxaca, Merida and Patzcuaro. As you can see in the pictures, streets are narrow, houses are colourful and completely enclosed. While some are in need of repair or falling down, others are beautiful. From the street, there is no hint of the beautiful gardens and courtyards that are hidden within.
It is also a wonderful place to walk, take pictures and observe the daily activities of Nicaraguans. While at the same time, we can spoil ourselves with wonderful restaurants that serve food from around the world. Granada is a major tourist destination and certainly not typical of all of Nicaragua, but it still has a low key charm. Hopefully, this will last for some time. It is a place we would definitely come back to again.
