Managua Nicaragua
Despite a troubled past of revolution, earthquakes and economic depression, Nicaragua has almost risen from the ashes as it is still a fabulous place to visit. Managua the capital, situated on the south shore of Lake Managua is a wonderful city. The Plaza of the Revolution is a great place to hang out, overlooked by Santiago of Managua Cathedral which is now a stunning shell, having been destroyed by an earthquake in 1972.
Some great museums highlight recent troubles however, you would not think so when talking to the Managua locals. I found them so friendly and welcoming, I had many a great night chatting over a beer in the many bars and restaurants of the city. It is chatting to locals in bars and restaurants where you find some great places to go, the best tip I ever had? Without doubt, the pacific beach resort of San Juan del Sur, where I later spent a fabulous week.
Managua, the name is far scarier than the place…..
