It's a cute small town called Nahuizalco. Its name has Native American Nahuatl roots. It has a central plaza, daily marketplaces, and a special night market that is found nowhere else in the country. As a result of the requirement of its residents, who worked all day, and needed to purchase food at night, this night market was gradually established and has since come to represent Nahuizalco. You will fall in love with its handicrafts, artwork, and customs here.
This charming town's Mayan heritage is its greatest draw.
