Families from the capital gathered this Sunday, February 6, at Paseo Xolotlán, to enjoy a poetry, piano and violin recital, organized by the Managua Mayor's Office as part of the activities in tribute to the 170th anniversary of Managua being elevated to Capital of the Republic of Nicaragua and in commemoration of the 106th anniversary of Rubén Darío's passage to another plane of life.
