You'll see foreigners mainly Americans in Mercado Huembes where the artisan goods are all the time, though no bargains, vs. Masaya for the same stuff. I have my driver buy things for me in Huembes. I think they are organized tours.

Otherwise not many sightings, due to the lack of a "downtown" I think.

I always see foreigners in Leon in Parque Central and the cathedral but not in slightly farther away places like Poneloya or Subtiaba.

Granada is a real waste of time other than the Disney type tourist market.
