​Backpacking La Libertad - El Salvador

Posted: February 16, 2022 | Tagged: El Salvador

La Libertad is a fishing port town an hour from San Salvador. Can't resist the temptation to go and explore some new places. The details on the San Salvador to La Libertad bus are now on a separate post.

There are no boats moored up on the beach. They have quite an ingenious modus operandi here.

They winch the boats up onto the jetty.

The boats go out at night and return in the morning. Having arrived 'late', I was lucky to see, most of one last operation:

Tourists don't stay here in La Libertad. They head to the beaches further up the coast.

Tourists have no interest in port towns. They want activities, beaches, and beautiful places.

Travellers like me, it seems, are a rare breed, just looking for something different. Even just a port town.

I eat a fish lunch at the appropriately named Comedor La Libertad:

I walked west out of town a little, found a strip of makeshift bars and ordered a beer.

It was a happy day!
