What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Leon?

"When visiting Leon it is important to respect the customs of the local people in order to show your respect and avoid any cultural faux pas. An important thing to bear in mind is that while it is customary to greet people with a kiss on the cheek in Leon, hugs are not thought of as appropriate and can cause offence. Oftentimes, it is customary to remove one's shoes when entering a home in order to keep the area clean, so it is important to remember this and take off your shoes at the door. Furthermore, it is important to avoid using offensive language. Finally, it is important to remember to dress modestly, as shorts and revealing clothing may be considered inappropriate," explained one expat living in Leon, Nicaragua.
