La Unión is the capital city of the department of the same name, located on the shores of the Gulf of Fonseca in the eastern part of the country. It serves as a gateway town to the area: it is the starting point for boats heading to the islands of the gulf —Zacatillo, Conchagüita, Meanguera— and where you can find food and accommodation before boarding. The activity revolves around the port and fishing. From its coast, you can see the islands and the Conchagua volcano.
