I am Dave and let´s discover the best of San Salvador with me

We will see how the new salvadorean culture is acquiring the interest for art, sports, orchestra, music, etc.
This is the beginning of everything when Bukele began in 2017, and converted San Salvador a nicer place to visit.
On Mondays this park is closed so we will meet in the entrance of the park, which is in Alameda Franklin D. Roosevelt.

We will pass by the hospital area, then we encounter an University campus before we get into the story of our civil war and get to the basilica of Sagrado corazon de Jesus.

We will see where the street vendors were place to and the recent changes around the streets of the historic center then ready to enter to the kilometer 0, the street vendors that used to pay extorchions now have a place to sell their goods with secure ness, parking lots and even food courts.

We come to the the Gerrardo barrios plaza and explain the reason why it is called like that and at the same time we can take pictures of the different buildings surrounding it.
We see the national palace, the metropolitan cathedral and the national library. .

We find out when this palace was built, who built it and what was held here in the 1900s
Nowadays is the place where president Bukele makes his swearing ceremonysince 2019, and in 2024.

We admire the Cathedral and find out where the Cript of Monsenor Romero is.
At this point we understand why we are called El Salvador, where we get that name for our country. We also explain about the massacre that occurred in March 30th 1980.

We come to the Morazan plaza and we can admire the beautifulness of our National palace, it was a building built because of the coffee exportations back in the 1900s and now we can enjoy the beautiful shows they hold right there.

We get to the heart of Centro Historico and explain why we call it kilometro 0, of course every street and avenue depends from this spot, this is a nice place to take pictures from, because before we avoided to get here because of the dangerous streets and now we enjoy visiting them.

we end up the walking tour in the nicest library in Latin America, with fresh Air conditioning and having a look at the different books and games with an spectacular view of the historical center.
Next to this library we will see the new Central american garden that was built in just a week with a beautiful water fountain.
