In terms of literature, Leon could easily compete with the great metropolises of the world, this small city is known as the Athens of Central America for its literary wealth, artists, universities and more.
It is said that León could be the city with the largest number of poets and writers per capita in the world. Like your own guide.
Among all of them, Rubén Darío stands out. The master of form and substance, The Father of Modernism, The Universal Poet. Amazing ? It is.
The suffering lyon
What would you do on my grave? Rubén Darío, who was seriously ill, asked his friend Navas, the father of Nicaraguan sculpture, who replied: A lion with a quasi-human face and a tear on his left eye, protecting an olive leaf and a harp. A reflection of the greatness of Nicaragua's greatest pride.
Modernism, from Nicaragua to the world
If I said that the Roman Colosseum is in Nicaragua, they might think I'm crazy, something similar could happen for many who still think that Rubén Darío was born in Spain or France and are surprised to learn that Rubén Darío was born in this humble country.
What a great contrast, Nicaragua, a country of writers and illiterates.
The genius
Rubén Darío, from a very young age, had a taste for the finest liquors. Yes, that elixir of seductive aroma and exciting flavor is like the mythological mermaid; it attracts, conquers the senses, and puts men at her feet, destroying their livers, as happened with Darío, who died at the age of 48. However, his genius does not fade with the centuries.
