I have always loved small colonial towns. The buildings and architecture are so eye-catching with bright colors, crumbling paint, pretty town halls and bustling squares. We visited Antigua, Guatemala before visiting the city of Granada, Nicaragua. We absolutely loved Antigua so we weren’t sure if Granada could beat it.
My first impression was the town was beautiful. I was blown away by the variety of colors on the buildings. They are bold and striking, whereas I find, other colonial towns use pastilles. Secondly, it is so quiet! My expectation was to see tourists and locals alike filling the streets. I mean, there are so many things to do in Granada, Nicaragua but it seems tourism has dipped...
