It is located at {{convert|45|km}} south from the capital, Managua, and has a population of around 30,600 inhabitants. San Marcos' climate enables the production of coffee and a large variety of tropical flowers and fruits. ReligionSan Marcos' inhabitants are a Catholic majority, a heritage of the Spaniard Colonization. They are fervent followers of the Spaniard Catholic Traditions. For example, the most notorious festivity, where many people gather every year, is the celebration of their Patron San Marcos.
