Great View of Granada
by Anne Watcher on Sunday February 6th, 2011 at 2:13pmThe Bell Tower, located at the intersection of Calle Real Xalteva and the Avenida 14 de September, boosts the best view of the city and surrounding area. Very old narrow, winding steps make for an interesting climb. Once you get to the top you are treated to a great view. Only down side was that they would not let you ring the bells!!

Bell Tower exterior view

Although a little intimidating at the start, the stairs actually where quite safe

Now to conquer the second flight!!

Tiled roof tops and a great view of Lake Nicaragua

View away from the lake down Calle Real Xalteva

More roof tops and a view of Volcan Conception in the far distanceYou could walk all around the tower but in some spots you had to squeeze between the wall and the rod iron fence. I did give it a shake to make sure it was secure!! Not sure where I got my nerve though. Usually I would not do this.

Just enough room
