Introducing Bluefields
As with Bilwi and the RAAN, the South Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS) has no official capital, but Bluefields is the largest city, the seat of both regional and indigenous governments, and until El Rama International gets up and running, Nicaragua's principal Caribbean port.
Bluefields is no beauty; the town's prim Victorian charm was blown away in 1988 by monster Category IV Hurricane Juana.
