Galerías Santo Domingo — Attraction in Managua

Galerías Santo Domingo is the best shopping mall in Nicaragua. It's sad to see how the general economic downturn in our country has affected the quality of this place.

Their only printer that could make the copies I needed was out of service and they didn't know when it would be working again because they didn't have the spare part it needed.
