Loud speaker advertising


This is a fine example of why we so often have to ask people to repeat themselves when we are talking to them on skype. The pink building is Cafe Luz, the only cafe in Esteli with wifi and where we can often be found on our days in town.
There are all sorts of vehicles touring the streets with a variety of loud speaker systems strapped to the roof. They blare out advertising jingles at ear-busting levels for anything from pharmacies, to nappies, to events, to where you can get your tyres changed. It's a charmingly simple form of advertising if a little invasive at times, but nobody here seems to mind that.
