The pacific coast of El Salvador has a vibrant surf scene and makes for a very chilled spot, for even a non-surfer to spend a few days. Nine in fact.Complete with a hollywood style collection of stars, each naming a famous axeman (Mark Knopfer, please?), La Guitarra is one of those places it is difficult to leave. Forget the surf break - a pool table, free internet, swimming pool, exquisite chess set, dvd room and ping pong table, made it easy to fill in the days.
In a bid to do something local, I did seek out the sensational dish 'mariscada', which comprised a huge, creamy seafood soup featuring just about every creature that swims in the ocean. Otherwise, I cooked a lot with the dinner club of Stav, Toby, Austin and Kathleen. My contributions included an English style curry, Thai stir fry of sorts and Spanish tapas spread. Rustled up in the hottest kitchen known to man. Never have I been somewhere where the rain was greeted so welcomingly, since it knocked a few degrees off the searing temperature. All in all, an easy and extremely lazy return. Now, really must start clocking up some km's.
