Come with me as I try authentic Nicaraguan street food and see the local attractions in León, Nicaragua! León is one of two colonial cities in the country. It was founded in 1524. My friend and guide Carlos and I started off in the Plaza Central, where we got a raspado (snow cone) from a vendor. DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here She offers several flavors including tamarind and pineapple, but she recommended the dulce de leche. She shaved off a block of ice and added dulce the leche and cherries with tamarind honey on top for 25 cordobas. The cherries were delicious and sweet but full of seeds. I loved the creamy condensed milk. It was super decadent and refreshing on this hot day! It was so good, I needed more dulce de leche! Then, I tried a bit of a raspado with dulce de leche and bread! It was delicious, almost like a pastry! Next, I bought some seeds to feet the pigeons. Next, we saw some folklore dolls with large heads. They’re part of the local culture! Then, we saw some Leonese sweets, including local honey with honeycomb. I tried a sweet pear cookie called a zapoto, and cups and bowls made from calabash shells. I washed out the calabash cup and then got some chicha, which is a drink made from black corn. It’s so good and refreshing! It contains pieces of corn but is sweet! From there, we saw the Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary, the biggest cathedral in Latin America! The most important poet in Latin America, Ruben Dario, rests there. There were lots of white statues and huge paintings depicting the crucifixion on the walls. Then, we walked up to the top to see the bells at the top. From there, we had a great view of León and the volcanoes in the distance. I took off my shoes at the very top, where the views were even better! Back on the street, we got elote with cream, barbecue, cheese, butter, and chili on it. It looked spicy. I loved the butter, cheese, and barbecue, and it was super creamy. But it wasn’t very spicy. It was perfect for $1.30 USD! I saw a vendor selling some soccer jerseys and others selling artisanal goods. I tried on a Nicaragua jersey but it was too small, so I moved on to El Sesteo Restaurante, which is right in front of the cathedral. On the terrace outside, I enjoyed an aged rum. It’s a great place to eat and drink and enjoy the weather. Inside, there are some masks! Then, we got a corn cake (torta de maiz) and an espresso. The expresso was great! Nicaragua has some of the best coffee in the world. The cake was sweet and would have been great with ice cream on top. Then, we headed to Tacos Alba Luz for a fried taco with cabbage and cream. They have pork and chicken variet
