PART 5: Winter break
 

 flag   Route Map    Masaya, Nicaragua   »  November 15, 2012

Soon after Managua, I went to another city - Masaya. A small cool town, some colonial buildings, but quiet and not many tourists. If they come, seems like only on a day trip from Managua, or Granada. It's only an hour and a dollar to get here by bus from Managua. Very affordable.
 
I am staying at the Hotel Regis. Private room, shared bathroom, all very clean. The sheets and towel are changed daily. The cost - 100 Cordobas a night, which is $4.50.

Masaya - Nicaragua

Photo:  Masaya, Nicaragua → I snapped this photo because of the Masaya sign and the horses. They are one of the means of transportation here. A trip across the town cost 15 Cordobas, or about 60 cents.

Masaya - Nicaragua

Photo:  Masaya, Nicaragua → The center point of the Parque Central. There are a number of small hats around it catering variety of foods. From comida typica, like baho, vigaron, and other typical Nicaraguan dishes, to a bit more expensive, but worth it, seafood (fish, ceviche, langosta). Also fresh juices, and coffee. A cup of coffee is 5 Cordobas (about 20 cents). Cremora, which is coffee with coffee whitener, 40 cents.

Masaya - Nicaragua

Photo:  Masaya, Nicaragua → I picked a few things to sample on one plate. All of them are a part of typical Nicaraguan cuisine. The rice with beans, platan, chicken, pig tongue, and some type of sausage. All very tasty.

Masaya - Nicaragua

Photo:  Masaya, Nicaragua → To wash it down, the number one beer of Nicaragua - Tona. They sell it in small regula rize bottles, and 1 liter big ones. A small one is 20-25 Cordobas, and un litro 40 - 45 Cordobas (about $1.70).
