When I travel, I like to see the traditions of the place I am visiting, so seeing a cockfight was on my list. These are held on Sundays, rotating the two ring locations on the road to the South beaches. We had tried to go once before, but after spending the day figuring out which location the fight would be at, then being told, “Mas tarde” (later) for hours, we were finally told that they were not going to happen that day. It took awhile before we felt we could spend another day trying to achieve the same goal, but when my parents recently came to town, we thought it was a perfect excuse for them to babysit.
Here’s a the video I made:
Although cockfighting is banned in many countries it s still a very popular sport in Nicaragua and sadly, it s a part of Nicaraguan culture. We’re Gordon and Elisha — a Canadian couple who is living and loving life in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
