angeliviki2022:6. Volcano
El Salvador has over twenty volcanoes; two of them, San Miguel and Izalco, have been active in recent years. From the early 19th century to the mid-1950s, Izalco erupted with a regularity that earned it the name "Lighthouse of the Pacific". Its brilliant flares were clearly visible for great distances at sea, and at night its glowing lava turned it into a brilliant luminous cone. The most recent destructive volcanic eruption took place on 1 October 2005, when the Santa Ana Volcano spewed a cloud of ash, hot mud and rocks that fell on nearby villages and caused two deaths. The most severe volcanic eruption in this area occurred in the 5th century AD when the Ilopango volcano erupted with a VEI strength of 6, producing widespread pyroclastic flows and devastating Mayan cities.
Yeay!!! Thanx for come back. Haha...
7. Coatepeque Lake
One of the most beautiful natural wonders of El Salvador, Lake Coatepeque, is a large crater lake nestled in the volcanic highlands in the west of the country. This serene body of water spans over 25 km² and was formed by a series of violent volcanic eruptions around 70,000 years ago.
Its strikingly beautiful blue-green waters, surrounded by steep forested hillsides, attract tourists and locals alike. Here, you can enjoy a variety of water sports, including boating and jet-skiing, or savor the tranquillity from the lakeside restaurants

10. San Salvador Cathedral
In December 2012, the Archbishop of San Salvador, José Luis Escobar Alas, ordered the removal of the tiled ceramic mural facade of the cathedral without consulting the national government or the artist, the Salvadoran master Fernando Llort. Workers chipped off and destroyed all the 2,700 tiles of the mural (below). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Salvador_Cathedral

AlfatogodeQFBere:I can speak Spanish, English, Russian, French, Italian, a lot of German and Catalan and some Portuguese, Dutch, Croatian and Korean).
That's a lot of languages. I'm only fluent in English and Tagalog. I know some French and Spanish. I get by in Italy once I'm immersed (just travel needs: booking hotels, restaurants, basic conversation). Next on my list are Japanese and Korean, but Korean seems very challenging....

P.S. The song was beautiful.

7. Snap a picture of Noblesse du Temps
Noblesse du Temps is an unusual and striking sculpture by the celebrated Salvador Dali. Also known as “the Nobility of Time” or “the Dali Clock”, the intriguing sculpture depicts a melting clock on a tree trunk, surrounded by statues. The tall statue is meant to show how precious time actually is, and how time can fade away so quickly without us even realising. It may make you pause for a moment to ponder your own limited time on earth and think about your priorities.
