Send Flowers to Somoto, Nicaragua

Somoto, capital of the department of Madriz, is a small northern town near the Honduran border crossing of El Espino. It is famous for two things: the Somoto Canyon, a narrow gorge where the Río Coco begins, now a protected national monument, and rosquillas, the crunchy baked rings of corn and cheese that Nicaraguans everywhere eat with coffee.

Cobbled streets, old houses and a colonial church give the centre a quiet charm, and the dry hills around it support small farms. Many somoteños work in Managua, Spain or the United States, and they use flower delivery in Somoto to greet their mothers on 30 May or to accompany a family in mourning. Orders received before 11:00 am Nicaraguan time are delivered the same day, Monday to Saturday, and later orders the next day; there are no Sunday deliveries. In a town this size the florist will usually phone the recipient first, so a working number matters.
