"El Güegüense' or 'Macho Raton' is a satirical drama well known throughout Nicaragua, which is performed each year from 17 to 27 January during the feast of San Sebastián*, patron saint of the city of Diriamba in Nicaragua’s Carazo province. El Güegüense, a synthesis of Indigenous and Spanish cultures combining theatre, dance and music, is considered one of Latin America’s most distinctive colonial-era expressions.

Cycle Paths :: Diriamba to Casares on the Pacific

We're all getting excited about our next cycle path - Diriamba to Casares (28km) on the Pacific. Diriamba is at an elevation of 1800ft and the Pacific is . . . wait for it . . . 0ft or sea level. There are no Steve Bauers or Lance Armstrongs in our little group so downhill is how we ride. From Granada we'll bus to Diriamba and the return trip we'll bus from Casares to Granada or if time permits from Catarina to Granada we could ride. That's a wonderful road as well, and well, it's downhill also.
