Costa del Sol El Salvador

Costa del Sol, El Salvador – 2011. I was in El Salvador for a Habitat for Humanity Navidad en Acción (Christmas in Action) Blitz Build in Guadalupe which is a village east of San Salvador in the Department of San Vicente. After two weeks of hard work we treated ourselves to a few days of relaxation with a couple of days at a resort called Rancho Estero y mar and the four days at Hotel Pacific Paradise on the Costa del Sol.
