Routes Around the World: Stopping by Masaya’s New Market

World traveler Anson Stewart returns to Nicaragua after two years to see another side of the country.

On my first trip to Nicaragua in 2008, one of our group’s last stops was Masaya’s old market (touristy and quite clean). This time around, I decided to visit Masaya’s new market (local and less clean) and the attached bus terminal on my walk around the city.

STN’s Stewart is a graduate of Swarthmore College and a recipient of a 2010 Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a grant to study abroad. Stewart’s project is “School Bus Migrations: Recycling Transit in the Global South.” Follow his blog and see more photos from his journey.
