Resorts


It's hard not to notice how many "tourist" opportunities are lost in El Salvador.
There are so many places to go and explore. There are resorts and hotels throughout the country that are really nice places but they are empty. The strange part is there is more tourism development going on and the tourists are not here to fill them. I suppose it is a "build it and they will come" mantra, or something like that
This is an abandoned project on the rugged surfing coast of La Libertad.
The rock pools were amazing. Swimming in these with waves crashing in was exhilarating. The fact that the waves were so powerful on a "no swell" day made it even more interesting. I don't think such a facility could exist in our litigious North American society. The labour in the rock work is something to be considered
