Granada

Atmospheric Granada is a colonial gem, situated at the foot of Mombacho volcano on the northwest shore of Lake Nicaragua. It was the first colonial city in Nicaragua, founded in 1524 by the conquistador Hernandez de Cordoba and its magnificent setting, set off by baroque and renaissance buildings, is a pure visual delight.

Granada is the perfect city to explore on
foot, wandering the narrow lanes and
alleyways, discovering hidden delights
amongst the lush greenery and historic
buildings.
