Monimbo..the artisan community in Masaya
January 9th, 2009
Monimbo is a bario that is an artisan community in the city of Masaya. The products produced by the people of Monimbo can be found in the mercado principal in the city of Masaya. The artisans are experts at making hammocks, leather products, textiles, furniture, and a variety of hats. While walking through the neighborhood of Monimbo a person can hear the carpenters cutting their wood for furniture, cobblers hammering away at a sole of a shoe, and smell the leather of someone making a purse, shoe, or saddle. It is a very special place.
