Why We Chose Leon 🇳🇮 Living in Nicaragua

You maybe already know why we love living in Nicaragua. But some people have wondered what made us choose León as our home after having lived in Granada in 2015. In today's extra video we are going to look at why!

Thanks for the opposing views of each location. Too many people are prone to oversell a location based on their own love of it.

Scott,

What I can I say, you are right on just about everything about Leon.


Right on the money!! if I wasn’t a Leones myself I’d thing you were a local yourself.

Just to complement something about Leon, minute 22.44, that whole block, there’s so much history there. El Colegio San Ramon, Costa Rica’s Internacional airport and national hero, Santa Maria - I think that’s his name, he studied there, you see, Leon’s tittle among Nicaraguans is the “Ciudad Universitaria”, it goes back several hundred years.

Ruben Dario, a national hero, and poet, you will find his remains in said building, Basilica Catedral, he used to ride his horse in the streets of Sutiava, riding towards downtown’s Basilica Catedral del Leon.

The funny thing is, every Esteliano and or its neighbor; Jinotega and or Matagalpa, every resident there has a home in Leon - They can’t stand the heat, they are there come November and or December though.😂

One observation about the safety factor when comparing it to any other place within Nicaragua. Managua? Scott, i wouldn’t recommend you walking on its streets there. It’s just not safe. Same thing with Masaya and even Granada.

Leoneses are on of a kind when it comes to safety.

Hi Scott! I recently found your channel and the content is so helpful. Thank you! Our first time in Central America was in Costa Rica about a month ago and it was beautiful! We are now looking for our next adventure in Central America and have settled on Leon and Las Penitas for many of the reasons you mentioned in this video. We are flying into Managua at the end of July and will split our week between Leon and Las Penitas. On our way out to Leon from the airport, we wanted to stop in Nagarote to eat at Quesillo Acaciac. Would an arranged taxi be the best way to accomplish this? Or could we grab a chicken bus from Managua to Nagarote, then from Nagarote to Leon? Also, any recommendations for accommodations in Leon and Las Penitas? I looked and unfortunately can’t book a room at your Simple Beach Lodge yet but we would love come by and grab a bite to eat! Okay, last thing… we understand it will be rainy season but should we plan for rain all day or does it come mostly in the afternoon? Thanks in advance for any guidance you may be able to provide! Your channel is awesome!

I love your videos. But I have a question. Why do you call Basilica to Leon's Cathedral? As far as I know it has always been called : LA CATEDRAL DE LEON.

Arent there apartments in the Leon vicinity?

Helpful video, Leon too far, 18 monthe still to go . Reseach !

Scott, I suppose that Nicaragua is not a credible country to move all your money; do you have a solution where to open a bank account but not in Nicaragua but somewhere near to Nicaragua?
