Honduras' oldest settlement, once the administrative centre of the colony, Trujillo now is mainly a reference to the past, a relaxed place on the north coast of the country.
From here, it was a short and wet wait at one of the street stalls selling delicious empanadas for the bus to Trujillo. Trujillo was the first settlement of the country, and it was inhabitated hundreds of years before the first Spaniards arrived here. Initially, it was the administrative centre of the colony, but the gold rush drew many people to the interior and Trujillo faded into a sleepy town on the coast. After its decline, Trujillo was conquered by French, English and Dutch pirates, after which the Spanish regained control.It regained importance when the large fruit companies started to use nearby Puerto Castilla as a port for exporting their produce. While waiting at Corocito, I actually saw one of the huge banana trucks passing by on its way to Puerto Castilla.
