La Palma, a small town in El Salvador's mountainous Chalatenango department, is the country's leading centre for artisan crafts, with the local handicraft trade sustaining much of the municipal economy. The town also played a significant role in negotiations between the government and guerrilla forces during the civil war, and its highland setting supports a range of tourist facilities.
