Grenada Nicaragua

Here are a few typical street scenes from Grenada Nicaragua. This city is a great example of a Spanish colonial city. Full of old buildings, beautiful squares and intimate courtyards you can not help but enjoy walking around and taking in the sites and thinking about how much history this old town has seen.

I have picked out three unique pictures that I think highlight Grenada. The church is one of many examples of the Spanish colonial history visitors come to see. The horse and cart showcases that Nicaragua is a country in transition where old and new mingle. Finally I showcase one of two courtyard pool at the Hotel Colonial where we stayed. This classic hotel is just off the main square and is a great example of mixing comfort and style with the historical feeling you have journeyed to embrace.

If you get a chance to visit Grenada do so it is similar in feel to Antigua Guatemala but at a much different stage in its evolution.
