Villanueva, Municipal seat in Cortés Department, Honduras.
Villanueva lies along the main highway connecting San Pedro Sula with Tegucigalpa at an elevation of 103 meters above sea level.
The territorial organization of Villanueva emerged from the 1825 constitutional congress that initially divided Honduras into seven departments.
Local residents maintain Honduran traditions through a combination of indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Caribbean elements reflected in food and music.
The city connects to San Pedro Sula through regular bus services, making it accessible for visitors and facilitating commerce in the region.
Agricultural activities in Villanueva produce a local phenomenon called el nieve negra when sugar cane fields release particles into the air.
