Learning Spanish abroad in Granada, Nicaragua is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. Nicaragua is a country of beauty and charm, vibrant colonial culture, tall volcanoes and beautiful beaches. The largest republic in Central America, Nicaragua is located at the juncture of three tectonic plates. This makes the natural phenomenon as exciting and dramatic as man-made events. The capital city is Managua and has been partially decimated by earthquakes three times and once by a major fire. From the cultural and artisan center of Masaya just outside the capital city to the up and coming -hang out- of Granada, Nicaragua's spirit and national pride shines in every corner of this country.

Located on the northwest shore of Lake Nicaragua, Granada is the oldest continuously inhabited city in continental Latin America. It was founded in 1524 by Hernandez de Cordoba, and is a great base for travel to the Pacific coast and the capital. This quaint, colonial town stands in the shadow of the Volcano Mombacho. Its inhabitants refer to Granada as “La Gran Sultana” (The Grand Sultan). The heart of the town is located at the Parque Central, where one can visit the many food stalls, civic buildings, the Cathedral and other attractions.
