Altagracia (Spanish pronunciation: [altaˈɣɾasja]) is a municipality in the Rivas Department of Nicaragua.
The city has recently installed a sculpture park next to the cathedral that contains important pre-Columbian art made from basalt rock.
[1] The traditional dance called baile del Zompopo is performed on the 17th of November.
This tradition is mixed with the celebration of Xolotl, who inhabited Nicaragua in pre-Columbian times before the Spaniards arrived.
When the Franciscan arrived in Ometepe in 1613, this tradition was already existent, although they brought with themselves an image of San Diego de Alcalá and with time they obtained his figure and replaced Xolotl.
