One of the lovely colonial towns of western Honduras, Erandique is in Lenca territory. The name means 'between the pleasant winds' in the traditional Lenca language.
Of the colonial towns to visit in the Gracias region, I opted for Erandique. Not the easiest to reach, but I hoped to make it in a one day excursion, waking up early. When I arrived at the point where buses and cars leave in the direction of San Juan, I first had an uneasy verbal fight with a guy who had told me there as no morning bus the day before, and who now, smilingly, said that it had left at 5. After almost an hour's wait, finally a pick up arrived, filling up at once and it took us fairly quickly to San Juan. There, I waited for two hours for transportation, without any car, any truck, any bus passing by. It was getting warm, there were soon almost 10 others, so any pickup would be full immediately. There were rumours that there would be a bus at 11, at 12, at 1 perhaps. But I was calculating, it would all be too late for me.
