What surprised us most about El Salvador? We talk about how safe and clean the country has felt, the contrast between its modern cities and rural areas, and why its Independence Day celebrations were so different from what we expected. We also share our experiences at BINAES and El Tunco, our growing obsession with pupusas, and the Salvadoran words and pronunciation differences we’ve noticed compared with Mexican Spanish. If you’re planning to visit El Salvador—or simply want to understand the country beyond what you may have heard in the news—this episode gives you a glimpse into what it feels like to experience El Salvador firsthand, including some of the things that surprised us most.
