La farándula is a group of local characters consisting of figures from business, sports, politics, modeling, entertainment, rich and beautiful people and the famous. I guess you could say it is sort of like Costa Rica’s version of the Jet Set.
Disguised as devils, witches, goblins and terrifying characters from indigenous mythology, thousands of Nicaraguans celebrated with joy and boisterous dances the festival of Los Agüizotes, a tradition of the southern city of Masaya that the locals consider better than Halloween.
