About
Matagalpa:
The city has a population of 109,100 (2005 census),
while the population of the department is more than 480,000. Matagalpa
is Nicaragua's fifth largest city and one of its most commercially
active outside of Managua. Matagalpa is the second most important city
in Nicaragua and is known as the "Pearl of the North" and "Land of
Eternal Spring." Matagalpa was founded by the Spaniards in 1554
during an attempt to find a water passage to the "Northern Sea", the
Caribbean. (Nicaragua's Spanish colonization originated from the
direction of the Pacific Ocean, which was called the Southern Sea by
the Spaniards. In the 1800’s, there was a Danish and German influence
in Matagalpa due to a few reasons, one being that there was gold found
in the area during that time. For this reason, you will see lighter-skinned
Nicaraguans who often have green or blue eyes (some of the most
physically beautiful people in the world). Matagalpa is a wonderful
place for your Spanish-studying adventure. It is cooler than much of
the country and is nestled in a beautiful mountainous setting. Here
you will study four hours a day, with two hours of conversation and
two hours of grammatical study. We can help you set up a homestay with
a local family or a stay at one of the local low-cost hotels or
hostels. Just let us know your desires and we will help you make it a
reality!
