About Granada

Sometimes referred to as the wild little sister of its tourist orientated neighbor, Costa Rica, Granada is also known as "La Gran Sultana" reflecting its Moorish and Andalusian characteristics.

It is the jumping-off point for some 350 small islands where you can find sumptuous resorts accessible only by boat that will definitely lighten your wallet. The city's main plaza, Central Park is a colorful parade of cafes and people where you will find the Cathedral of Granada dating back to 1583. This is Nicaragua's oldest town that is an eye-candy feast and a photographer's dream destination. Today coworking venues have opened up in its cobblestoned alleys to cater to its innovative locals who have no intention of leaving their beautiful home.
