Our reading

CARACOL's opinion, built on the facts above

Having central Honduras's international airport minutes away is a real infrastructure change for the valley; nobody can guarantee its effect on prices, but the connection is already there.

For a colonial city with a life of its own, close to Tegucigalpa.
