Question 8

What popular events take place in El Salvador?

Accepted Answer

Most events in El Salvador take place in the summer, and many are religious, but they run the full gamut from music festivals to a celebration of food and the country’s independence. Las Bolas De Fuego, or the balls of fire, is probably El Salvador’s craziest and most unique event. Taking place in the small municipality of Nejapa, it commemorates a volcanic eruption in 1658, said to be a battle between a saint and the devil. Participants do this by lighting gasoline-soaked balls on fire and throwing them at each other. Look for El Salvador flight deals at the end of August to witness this celebration. The Trancendance Full Moon Festival is half a day of music from international DJs, alongside bonfires, circus performances, and fireworks. The festival takes place on beaches of the Mizata resort village every year on the 14th of September. Holy Week, held in honour of Jesus Christ, is one of the biggest religious celebrations of El Salvador, with beautifully decorated cities and streets full of parades, performances and food fairs. The biggest event happens in San Salvador and takes place in late March through to Easter Sunday.

Question 9

Is El Salvador known for specific food/cuisine?

The food in El Salvador is a mixture of cuisine from Spain and the indigenous Mayan, Pipil, Lenca, Pogoman, Cacaopera, and Xinca. The national dish of El Salvador is Pupusas, which are tortillas hand made from corn or rice flour then filled with various ingredients, including cheese, pork, beans, and even edible flowers. Commonly served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can find Pupusas anywhere in El Salvador at any time of the day. A traditional meat dish is Lomo Relleno, a pork or beef tenderloin cut open, flattened, and rolled up with a filling. The filling typically consists of chopped vegetables, garlic, mushrooms, olives, eggs, herbs, spices, and even ham or bacon. El Salvadoran cuisine also includes a lot of soup dishes made with several varieties of poultry, beef, and various other parts of a cow, including cow feet and tripe.

Question 10

What can you see and do in El Salvador?

Accepted Answer

El Salvador is a small country, but one steeped in the history of its ancient Mayan ruins, as well as the more recent Spanish colonial buildings. The most impressive Mayan ruin in El Salvador is Tazumal, an important trade centre that was settled in 5000 BC. The site also has a museum where you can learn about the history of the Mayan civilisation in the area. For a bit of everything, head to the mountain town of Suchitoto. Not only are the Spanish colonial buildings beautifully preserved, but the streets are filled with art displays and food festivals on weekends. If that wasn’t enough, waterfalls, lakes and caves can be found just outside the town. El Salvador is also a land of beaches and volcanoes. Playa El Tunco is one of the most popular beaches with surfers and backpackers- its surf breaks and upbeat nightlife make the place very busy on weekends. For a quieter way to spend time on the water, visit one of the beautiful lakes created by a volcano’s caldera, such as Lake Ilopango or Coatepeque Caldera.
