Walking to the waterfront (malecon) in Granada, Nicaragua | I explored Paseo La Gran Sultana

The city of Granada in Nicaragua has so much Spanish colonial architecture that you will need several days in order to see all of it... luckily everything is accessible on foot if you don't mind walking a lot.

As we didn't really like the service at the hotel where we were staying, we decided to move to El Almirante Granada, a great choice as it turned out. My wife was feeling under the weather that day so I went out and explored Granada on my own. After strolling down Calle La Calzada and Paseo La Gran Sultana, I reached the waterfront. Lake Cocibolca (Nicaragua) is the largest body of fresh water in Central America. After going to the dock where you can catch a boat to Las Isletas, there isn't really that much to see other than parks and a small beach where locals go.

I thought that I might see cacao trees as the city park gradually transitions into farming areas but that turned out to be an urban legend. Another reason why I went there was to catch a glimpse of some species of Nicaraguan birds: I ended up seeing a couple of white-throated magpie-jays.
