San Vicente and area, El Salvador
San Vicente, El Salvador – 2011. San Vicente is a small city (40,000+ residents) in south central El Salvador situated on the north eastern base of San Vicente Volcano. San Vicente is a service centre for an area producing grain, sugarcane, and coffee. Industries include sugar milling and the manufacture of textiles and clothing. 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. During the Habitat Build we stayed in San Vicente and were able to visit a number of small towns in the area. They included Suchitoto (tourist market & nice restaurants), San Sebastian (weaving) and Ilobasco (clay work & pottery).
