Culturally, poetry is very important to Nicaragua and Granada has been full to bursting with both Nicaraguan and foreign visiters who have come to listen to to over 100 visiting poets representing more than 40 different countries for the annual International Poetry Festival. Is been great to be able to wander the streets and sit amoungst crowds listening enchantedly to poetry. It's no a bad way to spend a hour or so on a balmy evening
The picture attached shows one of the main recitals held outside the church of La Merced.
In addidion the various towns of Nicaragua came together to put on a very impressive parade which brought even more colour to an already vibrant city.
