The Magnificent Churches of Chinandega
The town of Chinandega, Nicaragua, is located about a hundred and thirty kilometers outside of Managua and is most known for its agricultural industry that produces sugarcane, oils, flour, liquor and due to its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, it is also a shrimp producer. Its tropical weather is a lure for tourist and the greatest attractions in Chinandega are its churches. Historic, beautiful and magnificent, they are monuments to the heritage of the town, and are still in use today.
Nicaragua’s Beijing Olympic Update
Nicaragua has been waiting since 1968 to win a medal at the Olympic Games. It has been a goal that has eluded the courageous and hardworking athletes from the country in all of the last nine Olympic Games and for now, as the Beijing Olympics progresses, Nicaragua has placed its hope in the events that still remain. In 1996, the team came very close to the bronze medal, as the baseball team made it through to the semifinals, but tragically lost to the USA team. But all hope is not lost, as athletes and supporters back home hold onto the dream of winning a medal.
Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea
The history behind the creation of the Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea, or Archeological Museum Gregorio Aguilar Barea, started in 1949, when a group of students began to comb through the countryside in search of valuable artifacts and relics that were left behind by previous generations, forming part of the history of Nicaragua. The former mayor of Juigalpa, Gregorio Aguilar Barea, was the founder and the driving force behind the museum, and it is therefore named in his honor. The Museo Arqueologico Gregorio Aguilar Barea is one of the most treasured attractions in Juigalpa, as it is not only a link to the town’s heritage, but to that of Nicaragua.
