La Unión, El Salvador
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Unión is a municipality in the La Unión department of El Salvador.
It is the capital city of the Department of its same name. It is the largest city in the department also with a population of almost 26,739 inhabitants. On January 16, 2005 the government of El Salvador started building a new port, in order to replace the old one, it will be the largest and most modern port in the whole Central American region and it will be able to hold more than double the cargo held by the currently principal port of El Salvador at Acajutla.
This new construction will help bring more tourism to El Salvador, because it is something never seen on the country and on the whole Central American region. It will be built the same as Kansai International Airport in Japan, building it over the sea. It will also help to increase the growth in this side of the country. One half of the growth is located at the country's capital San Salvador, but a lot of commerce is also transferred to the nearer San Miguel, which now holds the wealth of the Eastern side of the country, being also the largest city.
