NICARAGUA, EXPLORING the CENTRAL MARKET (MERCADO) of GRANADA
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the beautiful and colonial city of Granada in Nicaragua (Central America) and let's visit the colourful central market (mercado central de Granada).
I love local markets and I always make a special point to visit them if a town has one. They’re often one of the best ways to get a good dose of local flavour. They’re an essential part of the life-blood of the local community, and the locals depend on them for everyday basics of food and home supplies. So if you want to see what the locals are eating (as opposed to what’s being served in the fancy pants tourist restaurants or even in the street food), there’s no better place to start than bright and early at the morning market.
Granada’s market is especially good. It’s large and colorful, pungent and bustling. And insofar as markets go, it’s really the only show in town, so everything is concentrated here.
This market is very much for locals, not tourists. If you need chicken, pork, or fish for the night’s dinner, this is the place. Likewise if you need fresh yucca root, mangos, limes, milk, rice, cheese, fresh plantains or just about anything you’d put on your plate if you lived in Nicaragua. You can also get home essentials, such as basic hardware supplies like rope and tools as well as a few vendors selling clothes or Central American party supplies (ie. that is to say, piñatas). If you’re after souvenirs you’re better off going elsewhere.

Volcano Boarding in Leon Nicaragua was one of the main things I wanted to do on this trip through Central America. When I was in Mexico, I had seen a video about Leon Nicaragua and people travelling through Nicaragua, and once I saw people boarding down a volcano, I noted that as a must do thing, and must hit place on the trip. Arrival in Leon and Nicaragua was not the smoothest, but after growing a very strong liking to the town of Leon, I finally found a good place to book my volcano boarding tour!
Woke up in the morning in a sunny Leon, and got filled up on some eggs and gallo pinto, a very Nicaraguan staple breakfast, and before I could do my intro to the video on Volcano Boarding, I was already getting picked up! A couple of my friends from France had signed up for the same volcano boarding tour and we all headed outside of the town of Leon, to Cerro Negro volcano, with our overalls and volcano boards. By volcano board, I mean volcano plywood because thats basically what it is. Also, by boarding they mean simply sledding. The boards are not designed like sand boards where you can actually turn, and the rocks on the volcano would make it very difficult anyways.
Beautiful but bumpy drive outside of Leon, we arrived at Cerro Negro and started the hike up the volcano. At the top, even the video does not do it justice, we saw the sheer slope of the volcano but also a tremendous 360 degree view, north to Honduras, south to Leon and West to the Pacific Ocean and Pacific Coast of Nicaragua.
Arrival in Leon, Nicaragua |
Overalls on, goggles up, balaclava fastened, I was ready to go! As I saw my friend from France take off on her board down the volcano, I noticed it was difficult for her to pick up speed, so I was determined to lean back and use my weight to get myself going. Boy did I go! Over even the small bumps, my volcano board and I took air and eventually ripped apart my shoes trying to brake!
What an experience. You only go down the volcano once, so make sure not to hold back! Also, the rock on the volcano is actually quite soft, considering it is rock, so dont worry about falling off, and if you do, just hold your arms in so you dont pop out, or break any appendages!
What a rush. Make sure to subscribe and check out all the videos from before, and the videos to come, including more from Leon, Nicaragua, and the other towns in NIcaragua, and the other countries in Latin America that are on the way!

Nikaragua je úžasná! / Nicaragua is amazing!
V srpnu 2017 jsem vyrazil do střední Ameriky, abych prozkoumal kávovou oblast Jinotega a Matagalpa v Nikaragui. Navštívil jsem i města Leon a Granada a viděl ten nejkrásnější západ slunce na sopečném ostrově Ometepe. Byl to fantastický výlet a já na něj nikdy nezapomenu!
