Matagalpa is the birthplace of Carlos Fonseca, the founder of Nicaragua´s Sandinista party. Accordingly, the city is a Sandinista stronghold and there are lots of cool murals glorifying Cuba that we´d never see in the U.S.
Typical Street and of course all the buses are yellow school buses from the U.S.
This is in another city, Sebaco, that I pass by when I leave Matagalpa and there are TONS of fruits and vegetables to buy year round. The best part is I don´t even have to leave the bus because the vendors will run up to the bus window to sell their goods.
This is the main Cathedral. Basically every major city in this country has a cathedral. I´ve seen lots and I still think Matagalpa´s is the prettiest especially on a day like this when the sky is deep blue.
