Granada, Dona Elba


Day 87, Sep 27, 2013, 152km


Woke up with the smell of another fantastic breakfast being made by Johnny from the Naked Gringo. This is absolutely a great place to stay. We had parked our bikes the first day at the secure parking that is 1 street down, but fond this a real hassle to get the bikes out since the lot is vertically challenged and has big broken chunks of cement combined with boulders/rocks, so on day two we parked under the balcony of the Naked Gringo and put our covers over the bikes. We had seen that there are a lot of security guards in this area, mostly because of the pharmacy on the corner and we would recommend this to anyone going there.

Had a nice short drive from Matagalpa to Granada and checked in at The Backyard Hostel for $12.

In the late afternoon we headed into town and stopped at the Dona Elba where they hand made a cigar in front of us. Needed to have one of course in there special smoking parlour (don't worry did not inhale) where we could enjoy the aroma of these beautifully crafted cigars.

Granada’s town square.
