PLANNING NOTES
How to shape La Ceiba
01
Use La Ceiba historic core as the orientation base, then group La Ceiba historic anchor and La Ceiba market and food route before crossing to the other side of La Ceiba.
02
Give La Ceiba waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan La Ceiba regional landscape as a deliberate extension from La Ceiba regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
