Here we are going to generally resume some about Nicaragua/Managua
Nicaragua, a country rich in culture and natural beauty, has a fascinating history that many outside its borders may not be familiar with. It gained independence from Spain in 1821, joining several other Central American nations in breaking away from colonial rule. Shortly after, Nicaragua became part of the Central American Federation, an alliance formed to unite the newly independent states, although this union dissolved by 1838.
Managua, now the vibrant capital of Nicaragua, did not always hold this status. In fact, it wasn’t until 1852 that it became the capital, chosen for its neutral location between the historically rival cities of León and Granada.
The city and its beach villages also have deep indigenous roots. Local tribes such as the Nahua lived in the area long before Spanish colonization, contributing to the region’s rich cultural tapestry.
Another unique aspect of Managua is how its geography influences the surrounding areas. The region’s climate is also influenced by the breezes coming off Lakes Xolotlán and Cocibolca, which, combined with the altitude of El Crucero ( Elevation 930 m,El Crucero, the weather is cooler, with early morning temperatures between 5°c/41°f and 9°c/48°f, and daytime temperatures ranging from 12°c/53°f to 18°c/64°f degrees. Just 25km East of us) and southwest of the capital Managua, it plays a significant role in shaping the weather patterns.
The high elevation at El Crucero helps moderate temperatures in nearby beach communities at Villa El Carmen (Playa San Diego, Gran Pacifica Golf and Beach Resort, Finca Del Mar, Miraflores), creating a cooler and/or more pleasant climate compared to the hotter lowlands of León, Chinandega and Granada.
Temperatures on our beach range from 20°C /68°F to 37°C/92°F degrees, with typical days between 28°C/82.4°F and 34°C/93°F. At the end of December, cool winds from the North bring morning lows down to 12°C/53°F degrees (5-6am), while midday temperatures range from 29°C/84°F to 32°C/89°F.
March and April are the hottest months of the year, just before the rainy season. During these two months, temperatures can reach up to 37° degrees in the hottest part of the day (11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), while nighttime temperatures range from 24° to 30° degrees. I recommend enjoying the first 5 hours of the day and the last 3 hours of the evening. During the rest of the day, cooling off in a pool, working at home with air conditioning, or relaxing indoors can be a great way to make the most of the season. Did I mention this is the perfect time to enjoy the incredible variety of fruits Nicaragua has to offer? Yes, these months provide the majority of the fruit harvest in Nicaragua.”
