A colonial town one hour north of the capital.
A wonderful town centre, slowly being restored, with a church containing a clock once housed in the alhambra and given to the town by the king of Spain.
Forget Antigua in Guatemala. Come here for Holy Week events, coloured sawdust carpets in the streets and a real 'people's' event, no something for tourists.

The Tica Bus company are long established and have routes all over Central America. We travelled from Managua in Nicaragua to San Pedro Sula in Honduras via the capital Tegucigalpa. The buses were modern and clean, all border formalities were handled smoothly by the staff and it was the only trip when we managed to reach our destination early!
It is beautiful, with views over a great green valley, hammocks, wonderful coffee, the amazing ruins of Copan up the road.
