    🌎 MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG: davidsbeenhere...
    My epic food and travel adventure through the country of Nicaragua continued in the city of Granada! Come with me on my awesome street food adventure in Granada, Nicaragua!
    Granada is a colonial city, and one of the oldest cities in Latin America. It dates back to 1524 and is about an hour’s drive from Managua.
    👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
    While we were here, we were going to try one of the area’s most popular dishes, vigoron. It’s made up of cassava, yucca, salad, and fried pork. I couldn’t wait to try it!
    We started at Tower La Merced Church, which offers the best views of Granada. It costs 20 cordobas to go up to the top, which is less than $1 USD. From the top, you can see all of the colonial buildings, the volcano in the distance, and Lake Nicaragua!
    The stairs to go up and down are very steep, so I suggest going slow. Back outside, we passed colonial buildings, shops, pulperias, barber shops, and street vendors on our way to the Central Park.
    There, we didn’t meet the man we were supposed to-the Chubby Man-but we met his wife, who prepared the vigoron for us! She added cabbage salad, pork rinds, and pork belly and served it on a leaf.
    The chicharron was amazing, and I loved the crunchy and refreshing cabbage salad. I could see why this is the local dish of Granada!
    We also got a drink called coyolito, which is similar to grape or cherry juice. It was nice and refreshing.
    But I had to go back to the vigoron. Adding some chilies gave it some heat and a nice vinegar flavor. The chicharron was nice and crunchy, but the pork belly was nice, fatty, and meaty.
    I also loved the cassava. It was a nice mix of textures and a great meal for just 80 cordoba/roughly $2.24 USD. The coyolito was the perfect way to cool off in the heat!
    Then, we met a woman in the park selling lots of traditional local sweets, including some coyolito candies covered in sugar. It was crumbly and soft, and packed with sugar!
    She also had some candied papaya, which was chewy and extremely sweet.
    Then, we continued through the park past a beautiful church, where we watched a performance dedicated to us for 200 cordoba/roughly $5.60 USD. It featured dancers with large puppets on their heads. They dance to the drummers!
    The woman also danced throughout the square on everyone! They danced for 3 minutes. Then, we walked past lots of restaurants and bars, and stopped inside Nectar Bar & Restaurante.
    They sell artisanal beers, wine, and food. Their Bluefields Maibock was a nice amber with 6.9% alcohol. It was hoppy, wheaty, and malty. I also tried a macuá, which is the national drink.
    Then, we left and got some fritanga. They sell gallo pinto in a bag, as well as chicken, maduro, queso frito, and more. Our fritanga came with fried cheese, cabbage salad, plantain chips.
    The cheese was nice and dense, and the crisp cabbage really set it off. I loved it. The plantain chips were also nice and crunchy!

      Honest question...
      Why is it "the best"?
      It's literally a filthy loud dump.
      Leon is infinitely nicer than Granada, and even Leon sucks.

    Seeing the piles of fresh cabbage with each meal makes me think that this is one of the more healthful examples of street-food. I am amazed at how much food you consumed in one day.

    get the vigoron in the mercado or anywhere else on most corners, the ones in the parque cental are tourist prices. But nectar was a good choice, we go there regularly, the boys who work there are super nice, also the good thing about nectar is its near the start of the calzada so its not as noisy.
