Managua is the capital city of Nicaragua. Situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Managua, at 12°9′N 86°16′W, the city was made the national capital in 1857; previously the capital had alternated between the cities of León and Granada. The city has a population of about 1,380,100, predominantly Spanish-speaking Whites and Mestizos. Founded in 1819 and given the name of Leal Villa de Santiago de Managua, the city began life as a rural fishing village. Efforts to make Managua the capital of Nicaragua began in 1824, soon after the Central American nations became independent from Spain. Managua's location between the rival cities of León and Granada made it an ideal compromise site. The city has been witness to many of the rises and falls of political powers throughout Nicaragua's history, and has suffered two devastating earthquakes over the course of the 20th century.
Managua features many bars, nightclubs, casinos, theaters and cinemas. Compared to Western prices, alcoholic beverages, theatre visits and cinema tickets are relatively cheap. There are cinemas in all major shopping centers, screening both English- and Spanish-language films. Foreign embassies in Managua also sponsor film festivals. The city also enjoys an array of international cuisine, including Japanese, Brazilian, Chinese, French, Indian, Spanish, Mexican, Italian, Argentine, German and Nicaraguan restaurants. These are accompanied by most of the well-known US fast food chains, as well as national chains such as Tip-Top Chicken and Rosti-Pollo.
