A volcano hike, a food festival and 5 days of falling off a surfboard – my last week in El Salvador
It’s quite hard to write this knowing I’ll be on a plane back to Britain tomorrow. I’m not sure I’m ready for such mundane things as sorting out my car insurance and updating my CV!

A perfect introduction to Central America, with my very own personalised walking tour of San Salvador
One of the first first pages that came up when I googled San Salvador was EC Walking Tours and I decided straight away that I wanted to do it.
