LA UNION |
| |
 The port town of LA UNIÓN sits in a stunning location on a bay on
the edge of the Golfo de Fonseca. Faded since its glory days as El
Salvador's largest commercial port, La Unión's streets of low white
houses crumble a little further every day in the ferocious heat. Though
the atmosphere around the town is not pleasant, La Unión is the jumping-off
point for the islands of the Golfo de Fonseca . The port of Cutuco is
shortly to undergo a redevelopment plan that will turn it into the
largest Pacific port in Central America. There are a few reasonable
places to stay and eat in town, and the Honduran border crossing at El
Amatillo is an easy journey away. |
