Geographically,
politically and commercially, San Salvador occupies central position in El Salvador. With
its growing economic consciousness, San Salvador might just be the next economic capital
of Central America. Despite its hurtle towards development, San Salvador is not a concrete
jungle like most metropolitans but theres no way you can avoid the clouds of
pollution and the throngs of traffic. Like any other city, Sal Salvador also has its own
share of run down, dilapidated areas. Its real appeal is its people friendly
and warm, the locals exude the true Spanish charm.
Framing the background is the lofty San Salvadoran Volcano that witnessed
action as late as 1917 destroying the town edifice. The latest in the tremulous history of
San Salvador has been the earthquake in 1986.
