Arriving in Granada: looking for socializing opportunities

9 years ago

Greetings,
I'm arriving in Granada around the 23rd November and will be based there as I travel and volunteer. Having lived in very southern Costa Rica and in India, I'm familiar with a lot of what I've read here regarding living in Nicaragua as an expat. While Granada was not my first choice, the opportunity to stay there because of some connections through friends made the decision a bit easier. While I'm hoping to spend time with the local folks, and become part of the community wherever I end up, I'd like to also know if there's organized groups of expats that gather weekly or monthly. Are there events and places to go where one might meet others? I don't want to appear exclusionary or the such, but I have learned that there are times when I need to be with others who are also from a similar culture as mine. As I said, I lived in very southern CR, in a pretty remote area, and loved it and my neighbors, many whom I still stay in contact and hope to visit again. Yet there were times I just wanted to sit in a cafe, speak in English now and then, talk about books we're reading, or what's going on in the world. Thanks for any insight.
Much appreciated,
Judi in Oregon
