Antigüa Estación del Ferrocarril

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:56:56

Nine long blocks north of town along Calle Atravesada you’ll find Parque Sandino , next to the old train station , now a technical vocational school. It was built in 1882 and operational in 1886; the US Marines remodeled it in 1912. A few well-preserved railroad cars are on display. Out front is the Parque de los Poetas , dedicated to Nicaragua’s literary giants.
