Apaneca

 In our travels through the mountains, Dionisio, our guide booked an overnight stay in cabanas in the town of Apaneca. This is the friendliest place we have been in all of El Salvador. We strolled through the streets in the early evening and were greeted by everyone we met. There is a pride on this community seen in the cleanliness of the streets, the wonderful gardens and the maintenance of the homes and businesses. Our room looked out to the mountains and in the morning I laid in bed listening to at least 15 different bird calls.

Apaneca has had several earthquakes in recent years causing the stucco covering over clay and bamboo walls to crumble.
