    Alta Gracia is a small village, from where the boat to Granada leaves. The village is very charming and has a rural touch. Most streets are dirt roads and in the central park, we saw pigs running around. The cemetery is on the outskirts of the village and has a beautiful view to Volcán Concepción and banana fields.

    There is nothing to do, but wander around and soak up the atmosphere or hang out in the patio of Hotel Central.

    We got to know this village. We were suppose to leave the same day for Granada, but the pick-up that was suppose to run the tour to the harbor several km’s away didn’t show up. We then had to wait 2 days, and in the morning we got out of bed too late, and had to hurry to the harbor on foot. Luckily we hitched a ride from a local family.

    In a local restaurant we had a funny experience, which showed us how local it was. We were waiting for our dinner, and suddenly a pig ran into the open restaurant and continued into the kitchen, where they probably had a backyard where it was being kept.
