Gracias
Gracias ((:ˈɡɾasjas)) is a small Honduran town/municipality that was founded in 1536, and is the capital of Lempira Department.
It has a population of approximately 25,000 people (12,000 in the urban center). It is found in the mountainous centre of western Honduras.
==History==
The word ''gracias'' means "thanks" in Spanish. It is said that upon arriving at the site of the city of Gracias, the Spanish explorers, tired after having trekked through the mountainous terrain, said "Gracias a Dios hemos llegado a tierra plana," meaning "Thank God we have arrived at flat land."
The city was made the regional capital of the Audiencia de los Confines in 1544. However, this decision created resentment in the populated areas of Guatemala and El Salvador. In 1549, the capital was moved to Antigua, Guatemala, and Honduras remained a province within the Captaincy General of Guatemala until 1821.
