Shopping
Granada has the necessities to get by. We have two grocery stores that are similar to North American stores. You can buy appliances, furniture and electronics but if buying anything serious we usually go to Managua where they have malls every bit like those in the states. Once in a while I wish we had a WalMart Super Center in Managua just so I can find everything in one spot.
These days you can find most anything you need somewhere but you may have to search for it. I'll try to list at least the major stores.
