Stay : Ten days in El Salvador

This country is still little known in the world of tourism. San Salvador is much more pleasant than the capitals of the neighboring countries. These few days allow us to venture into different places, undamaged by the effects of mass tourism: a colonial village, volcanoes, beaches perfect for surfing (or losing track of time)
