It’s the Sunday before Good Friday (Palm Sunday for all of you who never took catechism seriously) and that means everyone in El Salvador, and all of Latin America for that matter, are looking forward to Semana Santa.
What is technically a celebration of Jesus’ offering his life sacrificially for mankind’s sins has now developed into one of the biggest weeks for partying and vacationing in El Salvador.
San Salvadorans in particular love to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and either head up into the mountains or down the coast to the beach. Costa del Sol is actually one of the biggest destinations for city dwellers to head for drinks, music and parties.
If you are in the country at this time, just head down to Costa del Sol. Many hotels offer special Semana Santa packages where you can get deals on hotel rooms, food, and even score special prices on drinks and enjoy live music free.
So, party like your Latin, it’s Semana Santa!
