"Thelukey's El Salvador Page" a El Salvador Travel Page by thelukey

Once upon a time, roughly 3.5 years into the nearly 5 years that I spent living in El Salvador, I briefly toyed with the idea of writing a guidebook to El Salvador, since the only country-specific book available at that time was out-of-date, frequently inaccurate, and woefully incomplete. However, after a few fact-finding missions, I decided that someone else would have to come along and write the definitive El Salvador guidebook. I’ll be content to limit myself to using this page (which is still far from complete) to get the word out about some of my favorite destinations in the “Magic Corner” of Central America, places such as the popular surfer’s beach at El Sunzal, west of the port of La Libertad (pictured above).

The El Rosario church is without a doubt my favorite place in all of San Salvador. From the outside it looks like a big, dingy gray tire set on its edge and sunk into the earth, but the light that enters through the stained glass patterns that adorn three sides of the church makes the interior a unique, mystical, enchanting respite from the noise and bus fumes outside.
