Description
Matagalpa may be one of Nicaragua's biggest cities, but it remains a fairly provincial and laid-back place, an almost reluctant urban center for this most bucolic of regions. Here the nearby mountains, which soar in every direction around the city's central neighborhoods, are never far from locals' minds, not to mention the coffee produced on their hillsides, which accounts for Matagalpa's historic wealth.
