So.. on from Honduras and into Nicaragua. I dont know hardly anyone who has visited the country and am told that it is the secret jewel of Central America. So more fool them First stop is Leon. Arriving in the Spanish colonial city of Leon as the day wound down at 5pm, we instantly warmed to the place. It had real energy but it wasn’t bustling in any way. Smiling young faces peering out behind towering wooden blue doors. Old men pushing horses with a heavy load to trot faster down cobbled streets. Burnt orange tiled roof’s with soot stains. Street stalls with hot steaming stoves full of soft cheese pancakes. And finally the central square and the magnificience of Leon cathedral. What a sight. And there are fourteen other churches to explore – each with its own individual style. A cultural capital dating back to the 16th century, Leon is packed with eye-catching colonial buildings. A day here spent wandering the streets is most pleasureable.
