Granada



La Catedral, which was torched in the 19th century by American filibuster William Walker in his quest to take over Nicaragua, has been refurbished to its former glory.



Granada's Parque Central is a magnet for young and old alike. This child spends her afternoons in the park with her mother, who sells raspados, shaved ice with sweet syrup.
