Perched on the side of a volcano, San Salvador is one of Central America’s lesser-known capitals. The city hides a great colonial history, which is not very obvious in its architecture due to past earthquakes that forced locals to rebuild the streets. San Salvador lies in a valley known as Valle Hamaca (Hammock Valley) because of the swaying caused by fairly frequent seismic activity. The largest recorded earthquake to date took place in the 16th century, after which the city underwent a complete transformation. That’s why there is so much to see in San Salvador today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Salvador is an increasingly fashionable destination for Central American countries, and the city of San Salvador is the gateway. It doesn’t have much to offer, so tourists tend to spend only a few hours here, just enough time to stop over and travel on to other places of more interest. Even so, we recommend spending at least a day enjoying the city’s colonial history and discovering all it has to offer, which we’ll tell you about in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
