viejo y nuevo Managua
In many ways, Managua seems like a city of ghosts and spirits. The old cathedral is but a shell, having been destroyed during the 1972 earthquake, yet there are photos of thousands of joyful people gathered in front of it and cheering on its balaconies following the overthrow of the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. The park was deserted when we visited, with the spirit of the revolution captured in pink billboards that rise over the empty square and throughout the city.
