El Salvador Impresionante / El Salvador Impressive http://elsalvador.travel/impressive/en/ Today we will travel through El Salvador, a little great country that has a lot to show, so let’s not waste time and let's go to our first destination: Suchitoto, which is for me the great secret jewel of the colonial towns. Located next to Lake Suchitlán, there are few colonial cities in Latin America as well preserved and so little exploited by tourism, so it is a delight to walk through its streets surrounded by colors, history and especially the Salvadoran peaceful life. Important notice! If you come to Suchitoto you are going to get your hands dirty because we are in one of the great centers of natural production of indigo. For those who do not know what I’m saying, indigo is a plant whose leaves, after a fermentation process, give a natural blue dye called indigo, with which we are going to dye a scarf The first thing to do are knots with rubbers, thereby creating our own decor. Then, with a thread we will roll up the scarf to turn it into a long sausage. Now is when we are going to stain our hands submerging the scarf several times in the dye. We remove the excess of indigo, washing with soap and water, let it dry for several hours and we have our indigo-dyed scarf following natural processes. El Salvador has two very good things for a visitor. The first is that it has everything: colonial towns, archeological sites, lush nature, endless beaches, traditions, gastronomy ... And the second is that being a small country, everything is very close. You know what they say: good essences come in small countries. That's right, El Salvador has everything, and everything is very close so we will not take too long to reach El Malecón del Puerto de La Libertad, a destination that blends tradition and gastronomy. That pier that goes into the sea keeps the best of traditional Salvadoran fishing, dozens of small boats that every day bring to harbor an amazing variety of fish, which are cleaned and sold right away in the same boat where hours earlier they were fished. This gorgeous fish market is the source of fish of the chefs of the best restaurants in the country, and now you can imagine that here you can eat perhaps the best ceviches of El Salvador. I do not want to end the episode without showing you at least one other site, so let's get to the surfer’s paradise of El Salvador: the beach of El Tunco, a destination marked in red on the agenda of waves lovers. Here come every year thousands of surfers from all over the world who spend hours into in these warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, constantly catching waves. It seems that the day in El Tunco is running out, but we still have much to discover in El Salvador, but we will do it another day and in another video.
