Nicaragua - Granada.

Tuesday morning we made a quick trip to Granada, the oldest colonial-era city in the Central Americas, founded in the mid-16th century by European settler, Hernandez de Córdoba. Our English-speaking tour guide drew us around town in his horse and buggy, proudly informing us of many famous and notable things about Granada that I have now completely forgotten. 

But I took pictures of the unique and colourful architecture. And the multitudes of vendors selling their wares in front of their homes on narrow, cobblestone streets.

Plaza de la Independencia, looking across to the popular Hotel Plaza Colon. 



Another view, showing the city’s main cathedral and colonial buildings.
