Night Life

LaJolla Market Place New bars, restaurants, shopping, kid zone, and karaoke. This is on the road to La Libertad.

Multiplaza The outside area of Multiplaza Mall wakes up every evening with karoke, clubs, and restaurants. Park in the mall garage or take a cab.

Santa Tecla New walking area in downtown Santa Tecla. If you can park right by the Palacio or on 2 nd Avenida, you’ll be fine on the street. There is a parking lot available for $1 a night at a grocery store across the street from the hardware/construction store, but I can’t remember the side street it’s on. (Towards the “end” of the area, 7 th Ave or the “road to Boqueron”.

El Palacio: Next door to city hall. They typically have art galleries, movie nights (Korean and Taiwanese at least once a month courtesy of their embassies), concerts, a café, and events sponsored by the U.S. Embassy.

The Cathedral: It’s been closed to the public since the earthquake in 2001 but it’s still a nice landmark and they decorate it for the holidays.

Art Museum: This museum was a prison until the past few. This is a big castle like building also on 7th /Road to the Volcano. http://www.museodelaciudad.com/

Bargain Hunts: Closer to the pan-american, there are about half a dozen second hand stores that fill shipping containers with stuff from DAV’s and Salvation Army’s across the states. (Obviously, this is a daytime thing for those with patience.)

Las Artisanas: More upscale artsy-crafty stuff than the artisan market on the Pan-american. This is across the street from the town hall. It’s kind of a department store for artisans. A chaporro stall, art, as well as indigo, pottery, I think some Peace Corps projects, and a small café.

The Street Festivals are held every other week. Sometimes they’re packed, other times it’s only some guys playing guitar and maybe an elote loco stand. Calendar here: http://paseoelcarmen.com.sv/calendario/

*Restaurants & Bars: Quixote’s : Great bar, ok bar food. Fresh Squeezed Screwdrivers. Yemeya : This should be on the newcomer’s tour. Great menu, vegetarian food, nice bar. Comedor Estefany : Actual Tipicos. La Caracol strip : There are three little restaurants in one building closer to the 7 th ave end: A chocolate shop, “Tapas”, and “Euro”. The tapas menu is actually “Stuff on bread” and not too inspired, but they do get most of their ingredients at Zetas Market. This place is across the street and down a little from Soppa’s.

*Tourist Map here: http://santatecladigital.gob.sv/modificados/imagenes/logos/Mapa%20Turistico.jpg

Zona Rosa Located on Hipodromo, this is home to many great shops, restaurants, hotels and bars that are open late. This area is well-traveled by our folks but no place is completely safe.

Out of Town Destinations
