Costa del Sol, El Salvador

Costa del Sol, El Salvador – 2008. La Costa del Sol El Salvador is an area of beaches, lagoons, mangroves and other natural attractions about 65km (40 miles) from San Salvador. After two weeks of hard work with Habitat for Humanity in Sonsonate, El Salvador we treated ourselves to a few days of relaxation at Hotel Pacific Paradise on the Costa del Sol. Hotel Pacific Paradise was great as you will see from these photos and we all enjoyed a couple of days of sun, sand and surf before having to return to the cold of winter back in Canada.
