Masaya The City of Flowers

As Rubén Darío christened Masaya a century ago

Masaya is a department in Nicaragua. It is the smallest department by area (590 km²) and has a population of 317,500 (2005 census). The capital is the city of Masaya. It is situated approx. 14 Km north of Granada and 17 km south from Managua.

Masaya is a large regional center with a great deal of agricultural influx. Produce from Masaya and Carazo and the surrounding areas is often shipped through Masaya on its way north, towards Managua and Leon. Masaya is also a notable industrial center, producing footwear and clothing, as well as a popular artisan center. Many of the communities surrounding Masaya produce furniture, and there is a neighborhood in Masaya near the lake dedicated to the production of hammocks. Masaya is known as The Cradle of Nicaraguan Folklore.

Masaya is also located south of a large, dormant Volcano with a deep crater lake, Lago de Apoyo, at its summit. This lake is a popular attraction in the area, and is host to several hostels and small resorts.

The artisan market contains wood and fiber handicrafts made in Masaya plus items made in other parts of Nicaragua.

The Catarina Mirador has the spectacular Laguna de Apoyo crater lake. The view at the Mirador is only one reason people visit Catarina; lush, ornamental plant nurseries and the shops of local artisans and basket makers lining Catarina’s streets are the others

The Volcán Masaya, called Popogatepe (mountain that burns) by the Chorotegas is a National Park, who feared it and explained eruptions as displays of anger to be appeased with sacrifices, often human. In the early 1500s, Father Francisco Bobadilla placed a cross at the crater lip in order to exorcise the devil within. Not long afterward, though, it occurred to the Spanish that the volcano might contain gold instead of the devil, and—hell forgotten—both Friar Blas del Castillo and Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo lowered themselves into the crater on ropes with the intention of mining the molten lava. They unearthed neither the devil nor gold.

Several volcanoes and craters make up the bulk of the park, including Volcán Nindirí, which last erupted in 1670, and Volcán Masaya, which blew its top in 1772.

Paintings of Nicaragua:

Being Nicaragua a land of Lakes and Volcanoes, located in the tropics, with beautiful beaches, the ones in the Pacific Coast with dark volcanic sand and the ones in the Atlantic Coast with white sand. The landscape is more dramatic, sunsets have strong colors and seascapes are spectacular.

Nicaragua has two lakes, Cocibolca or Nicaragua Lake and Xolotlan or Managua Lake. Both lakes are beautiful and have Volcanoes on them. Xolotlan has the peninsula of Chiltepe, Momotombo and Momotombito. Cocibolca Lake or Granada Lake has the Ometepe Island, in front of Rivas, with two Volcanoes, the Concepcion Volcano and Maderas volcano.

The Major volcanoes in Nicaragua are, Cerro Negro, Concepción (volcano), Cosiguina, Las Lajas (volcano), Las Pilas, Maderas, Masaya Volcano, Mombacho.

We have San Juan del Sur in Rivas and beautiful Colonial Cities as Granada and Leon. Nicaragua has many artesans and they sell their art in Masaya market.

Nicaragua's folklore is present with it's dances as Los diablitos, La gigantona, El Viejo y la Vieja, El toro huaco, El baile de las inditas (The female indian's dance) and of course El Gueguense.

During the religious festivities as Las fiestas de Santiago or the celebration of Saint Sebastian or San Marcos, people parade with their horses and it is calle La Hipica. In December, The Immaculate conception is celebrated (La Purisima) along the whole Country.

Nicaragua's Colonial Churches are examples of architectural beauty and many of them house valuable pieces of art as The Cathedral of Leon, Parroqua de San Sebastian in Diriamba, Parroquia de Santiago apostol in Jinotepe, etc.

The hot tropical weather changes when you go tho the North, toward Matagalpa and Jinotega, Esteli and Nueva Segovia, which have mountains and the altitud turns the calid tropic into cold weather.

The tropics affect the colors in nature, being these more saturated and primaries. Flowers are more intense in saturation and some are fragile as our National flower, frangipani or sacuanjoche.

Flora and Fauna are abundant, we find iguanas and Nicaragua is one of the few places in the world where turtles come. Tropical birds with exotic colorfull feathers as parrots or cockatees, monkeys are abundant, as well as poisonous snakes.
