What are the most challenging aspects of retiring in Granada?

"Language has been a challenge though it is getting better. It is harder to teach an old dog new tricks. Bank ATMs and the Internet has certainly made living overseas easier. It is a challenge to get documents sent from the USA reliably. Expats that move to third world countries tend to be type A personalities so relationships are a bit more difficult to develop," commented one expat who made the move to Granada, Nicaragua.

"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Granada is the language barrier. Although many people in the city speak some English, the majority of the population speaks Spanish, so it can be difficult to communicate with locals. Additionally, the cost of living in Granada is relatively low, but the infrastructure is not as developed as in other countries, so it can be difficult to find reliable services such as healthcare and transportation. Finally, Granada is a small city, so there may be limited entertainment and cultural activities available," remarked another expat in Granada, Nicaragua.
