Granada, Nicaragua. It’s a charming Colonial city on the shores of beautiful Lake Nicaragua. Home to the iconic yellow cathedral, it’s a place expats like to call home.
And you have a chance to spend a month there. Free. In fact, International Living is so eager to have you test drive Granada that they’ll give you spending money as well!
Last year they gave away a trip to Cuenca, Ecuador. This year, it’s Granada.
Who?
“One lucky winner (along with a spouse or friend) will win a four-week stay in Granada, Nicaragua—free.”
Where?
“Nicaragua is one of International Living’s top retirement havens for 2013—and one of the best-value destinations on our beat. The colonial city of Granada is a community we recommend most enthusiastically. A town embracing rejuvenation, today you’ll find there nice restaurants and cafes, an active town square, lovely cathedrals, and pastel-splashed colonial homes that hide garden-filled courtyards. Granada is well-located along the banks of Lake Nicaragua, just two hours from Pacific-coast beaches.”
“During the month, our winner will also receive a weekend away (for two) at Rancho Santana, an upscale Pacific-coast resort Forbes has called “simply stunning.” It boasts five sandy beaches and ample ranchland for horseback riding and hiking. You can swim, surf, fish, or just relax. The ranch will provide transportation to and from Granada, two nights in a 2-bedroom villa near the main clubhouse, and a complimentary horseback ride and spa treatment per person.”

“Nicaragua is one of the best-value retirement destinations on the planet today. In Granada, expats on the ground report a couple can live well on $1,200 a month, housing costs included. We’ll give the winner $1,500 to fund a month’s expenses, in addition to covering the cost of rent.”
