What city in Nicaragua?

Question

Looking for a city in Nicaragua where there is water, (sea/ocean side) but a city that is civilized enough to live not just visit. From what Ivd read 90 percent of people live in one area of Nica. Thanks

Answer 1

i am going this summer i think  is Managua

Answer 2

grenada is on the lake managua.....but granada is a bit rough around the edges.....and since you said civilized.  ...

san juan del sur is sparsely populated just west of rivas in the far south.....

or the lake...the island is isla omopetec (spelling)

not sure if you really want to be going there....depending on what you consider "civilized"

nicaragua is a different civilization than the US....different does not mean bad....but some of the cities are a bit rough around the edges.

leon is more sanitized, but very very hot....not right on the water tho.

the carribean coast is FAR less developed.....

Answer 3

Google Maps displays ALL cities.

Nicaraguan 'cities' have gotta be few, especially when looking at more people in Chicago than the entire country!

Civilized 'enough' is completely subjective.

[NYC isn't civilized enough for me!  Oh well...]

Answer 4

by the way Nicaragua is a country

Nicaragua (IPA: /ˌnɪkəˈrɑgwə/) officially the Republic of Nicaragua (Spanish: República de Nicaragua (help·info), Spanish pronunciation: [reˈpuβlika ðe nikaˈɾaɣwa]), is a representative democratic republic and the largest nation in Central America. It is also the least densely populated with a demographic similar in size to its smaller neighbors. The country is bordered by Honduras to the north and by Costa Rica to the south. The Pacific Ocean lies to the west of the country, while the Caribbean Sea lies to the east. Falling within the tropics, Nicaragua sits 11 degrees north of the Equator, in the Northern Hemisphere.

The country's name is derived from Nicarao, the name of the Nahuatl-speaking tribe which inhabited the shores of Lago de Nicaragua before the Spanish conquest of the Americas, and the Spanish word Agua, meaning water, due to the presence of the large lakes Lago de Nicaragua (Cocibolca) and Lago de Managua (Xolotlán), as well as lagoons and rivers in the region.[1]

At the time of the Spanish conquest, Nicaragua was the name given to the narrow strip of land between Lake Nicaragua and the Pacific Ocean. Chief Nicarao ruled over the land when the first conquerors arrived. The term was eventually applied, by extension, to the Nicarao or Niquirano groups that inhabited that region.

The Nicarao tribe migrated to the area from northern regions after the fall of Teotihuacán, on the advice of their religious leaders. According to tradition, they were to travel south until they encountered a lake with two volcanoes rising out of the waters, and so they stopped when they reached Ometepe, the largest fresh-water volcanic island in the world.
