To solve the crossword, we identify the capitals for each country:

ACROSS

1. Honduras → Tegucigalpa (11 letters)
2. Uruguay → Montevideo (10 letters)
3. Cuba → La Habana (7 letters, note: “Habana” is Cuban Spanish spelling)
4. Costa Rica → San José (7 letters)
5. Argentina → Buenos Aires (12 letters)
6. España (Spain) → Madrid (5 letters)
7. Chile → Santiago (8 letters)
8. Nicaragua → Managua (7 letters)

DOWN

1. Rep. Dominicana (Dominican Republic) → Santo Domingo (12 letters)
2. Puerto Rico → San Juan (7 letters)
3. El Salvador → San Salvador (10 letters)
4. Perú (Peru) → Lima (4 letters, intersects with 6 across “La Habana” at the 1st letter “L”)
5. Paraguay → Asunción (8 letters, intersects with 6 across “La Habana” at the 4th letter “A”)
6. Venezuela → Caracas (7 letters)
7. Ecuador → Quito (5 letters)
8. Colombia → Bogotá (7 letters)

For example, let's verify a few intersections:

• 6 across (La Habana, “L” at start) and 6 down (Lima, “L” at start) match.
• 7 across (part of La Habana, “A” at 4th position) and 7 down (Asunción, “A” at start) match.

To fill the grid, use these capital names in their respective numbered spaces (matching letter counts and intersections).
