While the
artesenAas
available in Honduras may not be as wide-ranging or as colourful as those in Guatemala, there are a number of crafts that are instantly recognizable as Honduran. The range of
carved wooden goods
, particularly those produced around Valle de A?ngeles is extensive, from simple bowls and dishes to elaborate chests and doors, while in the highlands and around CopA?n
ceramics
, including replicas of Maya pottery and artefacts, are produced. On the north coast the speciality is cotton
hammocks
, along with
GarAfuna
handicrafts, music and paintings. Good-quality
cigars
are sold in Tegucigalpa, Santa Rosa de CopA?n and CopA?n, and a number of companies in Tegucigapla and San Pedro Sula sell high-quality
leather goods
at around half European prices.
For everyday goods, the general
markets
in every town usually provide a bewildering range of cheap clothing, food and household goods. More expensive boutiques and supermarkets are limited to Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. Other useful information
