The Town, Of Granada Nicaragua
|
The sidewalks in Granada were, in some cases, an obstacle course to navigate.
Here the sidewalk became stairs leading up to a doorway.
|
There were far fewer cars and other motor vehicles in Granada than there were parking places.
Streets like this with few cars parked were common.
|
Many of the sidewalks were so narrow that the mere presence of two boys seated on the curb
was enough to force pedestrians into the street.
|
Second to walking, the bicycle was also a common means of transport.
|
Most of the trees inside Granada were located inside blocks behind and inside homes. The streets themselves
were largely unshaded.
|
A bit of shade was provided by an overhang attached to a wall next to an "Eskimo," sign.
|
A row of mannequins without heads, lined the sidewalk outside a small store. The man selling the
clothes was the one with a head.
|
Horse carts were another common form of transport found in Granada.
Here were two horse carts parked in the the shade of a galvanized, corrugated steel fence.
|
A man had just dropped off his car to have it cleaned.
|
A snack shop was set up at the corner of a plaza. In addition to snacks, soda pops could also be purchased.
|
Two men worked together to repair a bicycle on the sidewalk outside a bicycle repair shop.
