The tour consists of a walk in the historic center of the city.

We begin at Plaza de los Leones and head toward Lake Nicaragua, along La Calzada Street and the Church of Guadalupe, with its Gothic architecture. We'll discuss how it was used during the National War against the filibuster William Walker from 1854 to 1857.

We will comment on a brief description of the Lake, the meaning of its name: Cocibolca and its relationship with the Chorotega indigenous people who descended from the Mayan Empire accompanied by their goddess Quezaltcoalt or the Serpent Bird, also the visit of different pirates during the colonial era.

We'll also see a panoramic view of the Granada Islets, with their respective descriptions, while we walk along the seawall, where we'll feel the breezes from the lake.

We then return to the Church of San Francisco, next to the Convent of the same name and its various uses throughout its history. We will discuss the architecture of what is the oldest church in all of Nicaragua, founded by the Franciscan friars Francisco Botila and Fray Bartolome de las Casas, who also defended the human rights of indigenous people.
