The itinerary
We gather in downtown León to embark on our gastronomic journey.
Our first stop is at a characteristic bakery where we’ll taste freshly baked bread made with corn flour. Next, we’ll visit one of the country’s renowned coffee shops to savor a cup of coffee, among the best in the world.
Moving on, we’ll indulge in raspado, a frozen ice treat sweetened with syrup.
Our journey continues at the central market, where we’ll select delicious seasonal fruits.
Finally, we’ll conclude with a flourish at one of León’s iconic spots, where we’ll enjoy a typical dish from Nicaraguan tradition: bean soup. Alternatively, we can delight in a dish dating back to pre-Columbian Afro-Caribbean gastronomy, featuring meat, yuca, and green plantains cooked in plantain leaves.
All of this will be accompanied by a cold beer or a soft drink.
