Historic Granada
One of my favorite activities while in the historic colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua was visiting the various colonial structures around parque central. Many of these aging Spanish structures are being rehabilitated by joint teams of architects from Spain and Nicaragua. This particular Catholic cathedral dominated the central square in Granada and can be easily explored during its opening hours. I've heard that you can find a care taker on the premisis and have him show you the way up the bell tower for a rooftop view of old Granada. We visited the church during mass and stood silently as we wathed the parishiners follow the priest in prayer. People seemed welcoming & even oblivious to our presence so it wasn't very awkward for us to photograph the various halls even during mass.
