26.11.07 A preliminary impression of Granada
So. I don’t understand why all the guidebooks wax lyrical about Granada.
Yes, it is purported to be the oldest city on the American continent, and I guess it has got some kind of colonial charm, but the future of Nicaragua tourism it isn’t. At least, not for me, nor it seems, to the multitude of tourists passing through. I haven’t spoken to a single traveler on the road who has found Granada charming or romantic or befitting any of the purple passages dedicated to it in the guidebooks.
This blog is edited by Emily Ding, a 23-year-old Malaysian who has just returned from spending a year in Central America & Cuba traveling, learning español, teaching English, dancing salsa, and working when she wanted extra money, so some of the information offered here will sometimes - inevitably - be informed by a Malaysian perspective, and perhaps also a bit of an international outlook since she spent three years in London studying and three years in Melbourne before that. Feel free to dispute anything.
