Additionally, expats should be aware of the local culture and customs, and be prepared to learn some Spanish.

"Always live in your chosen location for 6 months to a year before settling down or buying any property. Nicaragua has everything from hot, humid weather to beachfront to cool mountain living. What do you want? Learn the culture and language is part of the culture. English is not widely spoken here outside the expat community. Expect frustrations. This is their country and we are the guests. The rules are different and you are the minority," remarked another expat in Granada, Nicaragua.
