The story
Feria Patronal La Lima in La Lima
La Lima, in Honduras's industrial Sula Valley near San Pedro Sula, celebrates its patronal fair on August 30 in honor of Santa Rosa de Lima. The town's name, derived from local lime trees, echoes the saint's Lima namesake, and the celebration centers on carnival, a float parade, and mechanical rides in the main plaza.
La Lima, a Cortes department municipality whose name derives from the abundance of lime trees once found in the area, celebrates its patronal fair on August 30 in honor of Santa Rosa de Lima, a coincidence of naming, lime the fruit and Lima the saint's city, that gives the town's identity a double resonance not present in most Honduran patronal towns.
