Chinandega’s most important church, with a splendid Stations of the Cross, lots of gilt and some Russian Orthodox styling that earn this one ‘Best Interior in Town.’ A richer yellow with white trim, it stands watch over the festive parque central, crammed full of play equipment, canoodling teenagers, fast-food stands and, at the time of research, a few rather out-of-place-looking emos. There’s sometimes ballet folklorico and live music in the central kiosk. The mausoleum of Rubén Darío’s mother is just one block east.
