This series is about my favourite five things to do in any given destination. Some are off the beaten track, some are a bit touristy, some will be difficult to replicate and some are not meant to be taken too seriously. They are what made my trip to that particular place an unforgettable experience, in no particular order.

Here’s El Salvador:

1 Visiting the stunningly amazing, all senses touching Iglesia El Rosario in San Salvador

2 Experiencing everything that is La Tortuga Verde

3 Eating pupusas at a local Pupuseria, like Rosa’s in downtown San Salvador

4 Renting a dirt bike and zooming down endless beaches like Playa El Espino with Jeff Hansen (photo: Jeff Hansen)

5 Attending a fiesta brava at a local feria patronal

6 Discovering Suchitoto and meeting living El Salvadorian legend Don Alejandro Coto at his museum
