This is the street that has most restaurants, bars and some local street entertainment. It is fun to sit, al fresco and enjoy the local flavor. If you wish you can be serenaded by strolling local musicians, for a tip (you help the local economy in the process ), buy cashews, hammocks, small pottery, etc.

I spent months in Granada and love the city. There are many wonderful restaurants both on and off La Calzada and it's a good idea if you can take time to explore as many as you can.

You will find relaxing massage, the best Sangria you've ever had the pleasure to sip, food that is simply to die for and lots of entertainment.

The evening breakdancing troupe is wonderful and do fill their hat with a few cords as these kids deserve it. The music and occasional festival is also spectacular. There is so much to be experience on this central hub in Granada.

There is a fancy ice cream shop, and that's fine, but i like whet the locals go. Apt 4 blocks toward the lake, on the left side is the Eskimo shop (Say 'Eskeemo' if you're asking someone about it). Pick you hand dipped ice cream flavor, and then ask them to make a milkshake out of it (batido). Great and cheap on a hot day!

This area is very touristic. There are many fancy western restaurants, bars and boutiques. And westerns getting wasted.
Dozens of restaurant servers trying to convince you to come into their establishment. A bit annoying.
On the positive side, beautiful architecture, a nice church and a cool mural down in the street.

I am agree the houses are colorfull on this street the only thing which is nice...

A night is backed with tourist...Every Bar/REstaurant has his own music than street noise begging kids and streetvenderos its impossible to have a nice dinner...Also on this this everything is well overpriced and by the way the best restaurants in Granada are (with one execption) not on this street...

Its a real tourist trap....

The upper part of the street is pedestrians only and most visited, numerous restaurants and bars with outside seating. Also a few shops and a very good bakery. Further down the street there is motorised traffic, but wide shady pavements. Part way along is a big sports field where a number of baseball games were in progress when we visited. Also a big church (closed when we were there). At the end of the street is the ferry terminal on Lake Nicaragua. To the right of this is a park with lots of places to sit and very few people. Beyond this is the Centro Turistico, a picnic, lakeside and wooded area popular with local people (very small entrance charge).

We didn't like Calle la Calzada...we referred to it as the Bourbon Street of Granada. Lots of restaurants and bars, some vendors, but not really much else, and the restaurant staff are pretty forward about trying to convince you to come into their establishment. Like, every two feet you're having to say "No, gracias" while someone shoves a menu at you. We ate at one of the restaurants one night on our hotel concierge's recommendation, and fortunately we were inside so as to not have to deal with the constant barrage of vendors and beggars and performers literally coming up to your table and pestering you. And I'm not even a "You kids get off my lawn" sort...I'm all for giving out change here and there, paying for good busking, etc...but this was just really overwhelming. If you don't mind the interruptions and distractions, by all means visit Calle la Calzada. But if you're looking for a more chill, relaxed experience of the Granada culture, you're definitely not going to get it on this street.

This is one of my favorite pedestrian avenues in all of Latin America. It is not the biggest by any means, but for a number of blocks it is full of activity. If you want a bar or restaurant, just go here and walk around. No need for taxis or anything like in many other places.

My word of advice, if you hear American music then skip it. It is a place that targets Americans and likely charges more. If you hear Latin music, sit down and enjoy.

Don't have much to say about this 4 blocks... Except that is full of bars and restaurant's. I called it gringolandia, sense it feels more like a tourist trap. Blinding you from the rest of the city. Yes! It is a great place to go and sit down with friends and have a great chat, but you also have to put up with the constant street benders that come straight to your table. Every 3 minutes you must be telling them "no". Another down side to this place is all the young girls that sale their body to older tourist men, you'll see this constant all through the street, but some if the locals would say, "what do you expect from all this gringos?" in conclusion, somewhat of a great place, depending what bar/restaurant you choose, all the bars sale the same things, if you like noice and no privacy this is the place to come, oh and beer is only $1 (local).

This is where everything is happening out on the street. Vendors selling their wares, performances, restaurants. Very lively. We had dinner at Nectars which was great - wonderful crepes. Also, on Friday night, we went to the Hotel Dario, had the buffet and watched the folk dancers. Drank Macua and had a wonderful time.
