This well known mural in San Juan del Sur received a face lift this past week. The mural shows Sandino (Augusto César Sandino) behind guerilla fighters. Underneath reads, "Jamas Nos Vencerán" which kind of translates to: "They will never beat us." Nicaragua has been involved in military conflict in the 1970's revolution and then in the 1980's Contra War. This mural has been around for as long as we've been visiting San Juan del Sur (since 2000.) Nicaragua is known for its colorful murals depicting history, scenery and people.
