Granada can be defined several ways. One is the historical, geographical definition which you can find here. Granada can also be defined by it's colonial architecture, abundance of churches, the influence of religion, it's arts and crafts, its writers, painters and many other things. The thing that stands out however is it's people.

Granadinos are unique, and very proud of their heritage, anyone in Nicaragua will tell you that. These are the same people, who sit outside in their rocking chairs in the evening and discuss politics, the ones who might run a small business out of their homes, and the ones who are eager to talk to foreigners and practice their english, or learn a few things. Granada is also home to many foreigners who have decided to call this great city their home.

Businesses are popping up almost weekly, there is a new community here that includes people from all over the world, and who are gradually becoming a part of Granada and Nicaragua.
