San Salvador Travel Forum

Anyone going to El Salvador in April? Those of you that have been to ES, anything that I should be aware about?

I will not be there, but easter week is a very big thing in a catholic country like El Salvador. For general info. I suggest you go take a look at my El Salvador page.

As far as places to go, if you want to see the religious processions then you should head to Sonsonate.

I believe salvadoreans take advantage of the hot weather at this time to go to the beaches and lakes so many of them will be crowded. (the cities on the other hand are generally empty!)

I understand the processions in Sonsonate and other neighboring cities and villages are quite a big production. In Central America the best processions however are in Antigua Guatemala.

Keep in mind that good friday almost everything will be closed!
