Somotillo is a historic city in the department of Managua, Nicaragua, located on the western shore of Lake Nicaragua, about 100 kilometers from the capital, Managua. This small colonial town retains a number of architectural treasures from the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the Church of St. James next to the central plaza, whose baroque façade and colorful tiled frescoes bear witness to the fusion of religions and cultures in Central America. The local economy is based on agriculture, with coffee, corn and beans in abundance, and traditional handicrafts such as palm weaving and pottery are also very distinctive. The city's living history continues through religious processions, folkloric dances and traditional cuisine during the annual "Holy Week" celebration in February, which attracts tourists from all over the region. Although small in size, Somotillo is an understated jewel in Nicaragua's cultural tourism, with its tranquil atmosphere and deep history.
