The road system is quite good even though some of the country roads and bridges have been damaged during the past civil war. The international airport of Comalapa is only 25 miles from the city and taxi and bus services link it to San Salvador. Taxis are painted yellow and most fares are negotiated with the driver in advance. El Salvador is known for the high quality of its seafood, which comes from the Pacific shores. Suggested dishes to try at local restaurants in San Salvador is Mariscada, a Latin-style seafood soup which is simply delicious.
Exotic cuisine is also available.
Coffe is outstanding and a must try. Nightlife is quite lively, some of the best and most popular clubs and discotheeques are private.
