As the former capital, Comayagua merits a visit as a quiet colonial town. The town's unique asset is one of the oldest clocks in the world, hidden in the tower of its cathedral.
Perhaps I was too impatient, perhaps I was right following my intuition, but I just wasn't very impressed by Tegucigalpa when I arrived. So, after walking around for a few hours, I decided to catch a bus to Comayagua. A former capital of Honduras, Comayagua declined to a sleepy town since the capital was moved to Tegucigalpa in 1880. Recently, it has realized its value as a historical town and projects are under way to reinvigorate the town. After a 2 hours ride, I was walking the cobble stoned streets of the town. I visited the park with the Iglesia de la Merced, and from there, continued to the Cathedral, the new parque central, and the San Francisco church a little further on. The square of the latter was entirely under construction, so I went back to the Cathedral. The park is nicely done, and quite lively with fountains, trees, flowers, drawing the usual crowd of youngsters kissing, elder people talking about days gone by, people crossing it on the way to their appointments.
