Managua - the capital city

Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, means, "Where there is an extension of water " in Nahuatl. Its roots date back to prehistoric times when primitive man roamed the area. Evidence of this presence is preserved in the Footprints of Acahualinca dating more than 10,000 years. You can observe these valuable ancient treasures in our city by Lake Managua (Lake Xolotlán).

In 1811, the town of Managua was elevated to a royal village category by the king of Spain and became Nicaragua's official capital in 1852. Today Managua has a very interesting poet and artist scene.

¡AY
Nicaragua, Nicaragüita,
la flor más linda de mi querer
abonada con la bendita Nicaragüita,
sangre de Diriangén
ay Nicaragua sos más dulcita
que la mielita de tamagás,
pero ahora que ya sos libre Nicaragüita
yo te quiero mucho más!
Carlos Mejía Godoy
