This house is located in Granada, one of the most beautiful towns of Central America and once the most important Spanish city in the region.

More specifically it can be found by the lake, in the last meters of the party street, the pedestrian street, coming from the cathedral towards the lake.

There is a plaque saying that in this house the last poems of Joaquin Pasos were written. Nowadays the house is a pension.

Joaquin Pasos was a local poet. From Wikipedia:

"Pasos was born in Granada, Nicaragua and studied at the Universidad Centroamericana. During his puberty and incipient adolescence, he was a literary prodigy. Pasos began to write relentlessly at the age of 14, opening in that way what should later become the first of his two creating phases. The first one of these creating phases would take place between 1928 and 1935.

In this stage he only showed a broad ability to apprehend and digest the style and patterns of some modern literary figures such as Paul Morand, Valery Larbaud, Philippe Soupault, J. J. Van Doren, Rafael Alberti & Gerardo Diego. We can also observe a certain obsession with geographic eccentricities (the poems “Norway”, “Cook Voyages”, “German dream No.5”) and a juvenile fetish for foreign actresses."
