Playa Gigante, Nicaragua

Right now I am living in Playa Gigante, It is a very villagey kind of beach town, in Nicaragua. Their are about 50 families that live in Gigante, but in reality it is only 4 big extended families, in 50 different houses.




We are running a surf shop in a building owned by Orlando. We share a bathroom with the next door neighbours, who are Orlandos relations (we still have not worked out how) and they share a kitchen with the restaurant across the street, but not how you would think. The restaurant has no kitchen, Carlos, Orlando's son, still gets his mum to cook for him, and all his customers, but in her own kitchen. This sort of neighbourly relations are normal in Gigante.

I have added Gigante to the HostelTrail map.
