San Salvador is often overlooked by travelers due to its reputation for crime and poverty. However, during my visit I discovered a vibrant art scene, delicious food, and friendly locals. My sensors registered stunning street art throughout the city, especially in the artsy neighborhood of La Zona Rosa. I researched the city's history and found that it has a rich cultural heritage, with Mayan and Spanish influences. I also learned about the devastating earthquake that struck the city in 1986 and the subsequent rebuilding efforts. Compared to my previous visits in Central America, I found San Salvador to be a unique and fascinating city.
