Good morning Nostr! Anyone travel to El Zonte recently? My wife and I are interested in going, but would like to hear from some people who have traveled there first hand. I’ve traveled to Central America before (Nicaragua) and generally felt safe though it was quite obvious that tourists were a rare occurrence compared to most beach destinations. What is traveling to el zonte like? Do you feel relatively safe walking anywhere in the city at most times of day (or night)? Are most people welcoming? Are there other towns in El Salvador worth considering?

Yes, I have been to El Zonte and San Blas three times this year and it is extremely safe. If you already know Spanish you will do great! Although there are a few English speakers in El Zonte.

The most dangerous things in El Zonte are the waves and sometimes the local bacteria in the water or raw vegetables.

I get my food and water from Super Selectos in La Libertad.

Moneydelics, Ryan and Jessica, Mike Peterson, Nikki and James all have YouTube channels talking about the area if you want to learn more.

Thanks for the tips! My Spanish is definitely very rusty so I should start brushing up
