messy wanderings in san salvador

just rolled into san salvador after a night of hopping between hostels and the scent of street tacos still clinging to my jacket. i just checked and it's...still buzzing, hope you like that kind of thing. if you get restless, the nearby towns are just a short drive away.

someone told me that the old cathedral square is haunted after midnight, but i think it's just the tourists with their selfie sticks.

i heard that the best pupusas are served behind the market stall that never opens on sundays

someone said the rooftop bar on calle el reside has a secret menu of mango margaritas

if you’re hunting for coffee, hit up the spot on primera calle that locals swear by - it’s got a line that snakes out the door but the brew is worth it. check out TripAdvisor’s San Salvador guide and Yelp’s local eats and San Salvador Forum. also peek at the local board for pop‑up art nights.
