Sabanagrande lies about 35 km south of Tegucigalpa in Francisco Morazán Department and is one of the oldest colonial towns of central-southern Honduras. It is famous across Central America for its traditional "rosquillas en miel" and other corn-based pastries produced and sold by many small family-run bakeries. The town center is dominated by an 18th-century parish church that closes off a quiet, distinctly colonial main plaza. Sabanagrande is also tied to the religious tradition of the pilgrimage to the Virgen de Suyapa, as many travelers from the south stop here on their way north. Its economy is based on corn farming, cattle ranching, small commerce and food crafts. The town is a vivid example of how cuisine, religion and colonial history come together in central Honduras.
