.

Granada is an ancient city of USA but sounds like Canada.

Granada was founded in 1524 ostensibly the first European city in mainland of central America. Unlike other cities that claim the same distinction, the city of Granada was not only the settlement of the conquest, but also a city registered in official records of the Crown of Aragon, and the Kingdom of Castile in Spain.

Granada, Nicaragua was historically the sister capital in Central America to Antiqua,Guatemala. During the colonial period, Granada maintained a flourishing level of commerce with ports on the Atlantic ocean through Lake Nicaraqua and the San Juan River.

Granada is Nicaragua's fourth most populous city. seen in its architecture and structureIt has rich colonial heritage. The city has been witness and victim to many battles and invasions from English,French and Dutch pirates

Most of the Granada's streets are narrow, as the city evolved centuries before the advent of motorized vehicles. Therefore, today, many streets allow only one-way traffic, offering a challenge to visitors traveling by car.

The 24th annual 'Diner en Blanc'

People attend the White Dinner event at Place des Vosges in the Marais district of Paris June 14, 2012.

Thousands of locals gathered in the city's Place des Vosges on Thursday night for an impromptu open-air dinner, dressed head to toe in white and bringing with them white tablecloths, glassware and other finery.

Participants at the "Diner en blanc" (Dinner in White) were told of the venue via social media sites and the Internet, then rushed to assemble in the heart of Paris' Marais district, in a 25-year-old tradition that still leaves passersby open-mouthed.
