We got delayed in Nicaragua a little longer than planned so spent about a week in Granada. It is by far the most touristic and popular town in the country and not without reason. It is relaxed, pleasant and within striking distance of a number of other nearby attractions/activities. 

The colonial architecture dominates the majority of the city core to varying degrees of preservation. In common theme to other small touristic cities the world over, they have freshly painted the buildings of the most popular streets in multiple colours making it quite photogenic. There are a handful of churches to visit though most are in need of some fresh paint and upkeep. The lakefront was an undeveloped disappointment. 

Overall, while this is a nice place to linger in and a must visit if in Nicaragua it doesn't really add any more value to the already saturated Spanish colonial towns portion of the WHS list. If they'd nominated it much earlier it would've had a much better chance but now they'll have to get really creative to justify an inscription.
