Part 1 leon (Nicaragua)
León is one of the oldest cities in Nicaragua. León is named after León, Spain. After independence, the elites of León and Granada struggled over which city ...
I'm a nicaraguan living in managua, I went to leon yesterday after many
years and I was really impressed by the way the town has changed, It's been
restored a lot in the recent years and we see more tourists. I must admit
that I go to granada more often because it's closer to the capital (25
miles), I had years without visiting leon, but there was a time when my
family and I used to pass through leon while on our monthly family trip to
visit our relatives in corinto (chinandega), and I must say that I didn't
like the town at all, It looked shanty and decaying to me as a kid, after
all "what could they find interesting on a town that doesn't even have a
'pizza hut' or a shopping mall like metrocentro?" that's what I thought as
a managuan kid.
But now as an adult with a profession I've changed my mind completely, to
the point that I'm really considering moving to leon, I love the vibe of
the city, the architecture, the history and the possibility of meeting
people from other countries, I've traveled abroad many times and never
thought that such an experience as cultural interchange was right next to
me some 60 miles away... I'm a diehard managuan, there is a huge rivalry
between the cities, specially in baseball (our national sport), but I feel
that my beloved managua has been slowly taken out by crime, corrupt cops
and traffic jams, for me the situation has become increasingly unlivable.
In the last couple of years, I have been considering moving abroad, but
maybe I just need to move to another town, I might try leon or san juan del
sur.
Soy amorosa de Leon, la ciudad de la Revolucion! Granada es una ciudad muy
bonita, pero demasiado "Gringo" por mi... Hay mucha cultura en Leon, muchas
viejas casas bonitas, las iglesias, las tiendas y comedores en cada barrio,
una gente muy amabile y - la gente bailan Salsa!!! Saludos a todos los
bailarinos en la Casa de la Cultura y la Olla Quemada! Espero regresar lo
antes posible! yayaya!
Thanks for sharing this. I showed my dad who grew up in Leon. He left in
the late 70s during a war, on a bus to Tijuana, and from there moving place
from place in California. He hasn't been back since then. It gave him a lot
of memories, especially a church he attended that was shown in your
footage. We/ He now lives in Sacramento.
