HOME - Nicaragua - Northern Highlands - Condega

This small town is renowned for its traditional pottery industry. In fact the name of the town, if translated in Nahuatl, means ‘the place of the potters’. Ceramics production has been going on here even before the Spanish first came to this land, and the town still houses some of the most important factories in the country.

Around and closeby
The Ducuali Ceramic Factory is a place famous for the display of the modern pottery works of the local women. This factory is about 3km away from the town, and worth visiting, for this is where you can buy some of the best works. The Guacamayo Workshop is located nearer to town, and is famous for its beautiful wooden crafts. Venecia is located some 22km east of town, known for the famous Parque Ecológico Cantagallo which is rich with natural sights and the old indigenous capital of Togalpa is just south of town.

Sightseeing
The town’s best attraction is the Somoza Bomber, which was downed during the climax of the 1979 revolution here. The Airplane Park is also one of the most important places in town, it houses the twin-engine plane used by the FAN to bomb the region. Despite the historical significance, this place is a popular spot with young couples who come here to mess around! The El Templo Parroquial de Condega is a church, known for the 11th and 12th December celebrations of the Virgin of Guadalupe. You can also visit it for the Feria del Patio, another huge celebration a few days later.

Getting there
You can get here by buses to and from Esteli, Managua, Ocotal and Somoto.
