Learn Spanish In Nicaragua
If you’re thinking of attending one of the Spanish schools in Nicaragua, you’ll be visiting a country in Central America, bordered to the north by Honduras, to the south by Costa Rica, to the east by the Caribbean Sea and to the west by the Pacific Ocean. Nicaragua has a population of around 5 and a half million, with a moderate, pleasant tropical climate. Temperatures remain within a range of between 20º and 28º all year, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. There are an average of 330 days of sun per year.
When you’re deciding which of the Spanish schools in Nicaragua is the most suitable for you, bear in mind that the largest cities are Managua, the capital, Leon, Chinandega and Masaya; Granada is another wonderful colonial city. You’ll obviously not be spending all your time in your Spanish school in Nicaragua, and you’ll probably want to travel around the country and see its attractions and handicrafts. One of the best known places for arts and crafts is San Juan de Oriente, one of the so-called "White Towns", which is famous for its clay pots with pre-Columbian patterns. Granada is well known for its fine embroidery and gold and silver jewelry. But, even if your Spanish school isn’t in one of these towns, you’ll always find an arts and crafts market nearby, wherever you are in Nicaragua. Perhaps the most well-known handicrafts, and the ones most bought by visitors, are: hand-woven hammocks, wood carvings, hats, rugs and embroidered blouses. Nicaragua is well known for its excellent coffee – perhaps your Spanish school will serve some during the breaks! Most of the coffee is cultivated in the north of the country, in Matagalpa and Jinoyega, where you can visit the plantations and learn about the natural process of coffee making. Another common crop in Nicaragua is tobacco, which is cultivated in Estelí. Again, while you’re following your Spanish course in Nicaragua, you’ll be able to visit some of the plantations and factories to see the cigar-making process - and buy some cigars at a reasonable price. Wherever your Spanish school is situated in Nicaragua, you’ll find that the cultural wealth of the country is undoubtedly one of its greatest attractions, as well as the hospitality and friendliness of its people, the "Nicas". You can experience the greatness of its culture, and enjoy the small towns full of beauty and rich in tradition. You'll find beautiful architecture, plenty of history and festivals, striking handicrafts, wonderful food and drinks and, above all, the happy smiles of the people you meet along the way!
