Location
Surrounded by restaurants and bars on Calle La Caldaza

Popular sights such as Central Park and the Lake Nicaragua waterfront are nearby.Granada is one of Nicaragua's oldest cities, and it's full of Spanish Colonial charm -- expect historic churches, a large central plaza, and lively festivals throughout the year. It's also located right on the massive Lake Nicaragua, and visitors will find restaurants and bars along the waterfront as well as a pier where ferries depart to Ometepe, an island with two volcanic peaks.
