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.
There are a lot more tourists in the masaya market than huembes. The real local market is oriental but it can be a dodgy place
