Granada, Nicaragua

Granada was founded in 1524 and is the oldest city established on mainland during the Spanish conquests. The city has a fascinating history: during colonial times Granada was attacked several times by pirates. Later, the city was the capital several times before Managua got chosen to end the fight between Granada and León for being capital city. Granada was sought after, captured, and destroyed by North American filibusters. Nowadays, Granada is the city most visited by tourists in Nicaragua.

Granada is located 47 kilometers from Managua, and can be reached without much effort. The historical center is a great place to stroll around or take a traditional horse pulled carriage to see some more of the city.
