Hi all,
I have been putting together some photos from here for the travel website I write for. They wanted a photographic essay of the town where I´m staying. I´m still not quite sure what a ¨photographic essay¨ is, but this is my attempt at one!
I´m staying right next to the beach in a very quiet place and really like it here. The locals are friendly, but not overly-so, and there are no hawkers or annoying hassling sales people everywhere. Hardly anyone speaks English, so I am being forced to speak in Spanish, which is great and was just what I was looking for. Here is the piece...
Located just thirty-minutes drive from El Salvador´s airport, the village of El Tunco offers swaying palm-trees, some of Central America´s best waves, and a laid-back welcome from its friendly residents. During the weekdays, El Tunco is tranquil; surfers from all over the wander down to the sea to catch waves whilst women stoke wood fires and fry El Salvador´s national dish, the pupusa. On the weekends, the village comes alive as residents from San Salvador escape the heat of the capital city and enjoy a few day´s break by the sea. Here is a photographic essay — From Dawn to Dusk — which features this quiet beach-side pueblo.
