In this video, IL editor Lee Harrison takes a tour around the Spanish colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua. This city is not only popular with travelers, but with expats as well. Lee met quite a few North Americans who retired here, or own a second home, or just decided to start life over in this unique, Spanish colonial environment.

Nestled on the shores of the giant Lake Nicaragua, Granada has warm weather all year, and more than its share of terrific cafes, bars and restaurants.
