Spain sent is first diplomatic representatives to Central America in the 1850s, with a unique ambassador to the whole region. The ambassador to Central America was responsible for establishing diplomatic relations with the newly formed republics of the region. In the case of Honduras, it was the last Central American nation to sign a treaty of peace, friendship and recognition with Spain. It was signed in 1894, after several delays.[1] In 1943, the minister to El Salvador assumed also the Honduras–Spain relations until 1948.[2] Since 1949, Spain has had a minister to Honduras and, in December 1951, the position was elevated to the rank of ambassador.[3]
