We are actually as you can see from the hill behind us on a downward hill slope,
but our car, when we take our foot off the brake, see what happens!
🎼
Bienvenidos A El Salvador ! Welcome to El Salvador!
🎼
We've arrived on the next town of the Ruta de las Flores, and we've arrived in the
town Juayua, there is an amazing fountain and church that you can see
behind us and in the background that way there are lots of people dancing, and the
atmosphere here is absolutely amazing, it's the weekend and everybody's having a
really good time, and you have to come here - if you come to El Salvador!
🎼
So we've just bumped into these guys, who we shared a journey in Honduras.
Hi ! I am Dustin from Canada and Charlotte from Canada as well ! It is so nice, you meet the
coolest people, the loveliest people and even if you're having the worst journey,
you still have fun and have a giggle, so thank you for sharing our journey with us. YAY!
So it's always great to meet up with new friends and they've actually been
staying in Anahuac hostel and we've got some amazing feedback from them,
so I can thoroughly recommend this hotel and hostel, and they also sell
coffee and they also have a finca up the road, where they grow the coffee,
bring it here and they let you taste it!
It is a food festival !!
food festival here, absolutely amazing
there is Tent after tent of lovely food and a really good atmosphere. Smells
beautiful and it's on every weekend so if you're around you need to come
down and try some local food. How good does all this meat and
everything smell is actually amazing, I'm getting so hungry walking around here.
So if you come here, you have to try the food, there is food behind us there is
food over there, and there's food as far as the eye can see that way.
Food heaven! The only danger here is El Salvador? is you may get fat !!
🎼
So this part of the road is very interesting, because we are actually as
you can see from the hill behind us, on a downward hill slope, but our car when we
take our foot off the brake see what happens .....
And the reason it is doing that, is because there is a magnetic force that is making
the car go backwards, uphill ! Amazing!
So we're continuing our journey along the
Route de las Flores and we've stopped off by the side of the road of this
viewing point and it's amazing, as far as the eye can see there is coffee growing,
and you can see some larger trees, they actually protect the coffee from the
winds as we go up in altitude. It is the first time I've ever seen coffee growing!
🎼
We've arrived in a beautiful little town called Apeneca and it's so quaint and
colourful, and really really pretty and this little stalls down the side and
then you can see it up in the mountains the coffee plantations, it's really
really quaint and very very beautiful.
🎼
So we've come down to this wonderful food hall, here in a town, where
apparently all of the food is locally made, local food, it's a good place, that
we're going to stop here, to have lunch because the market we were at before was so
busy, but this place, is a little bit quieter and the food looks absolutely
amazing. So we just had a lovely lunch I had some soup with the laroco flowers
and different vegetables in it, some chicken, some rice, some mixed vegetables
and some local cheese and it was absolutely delicious
and it only cost five dollars.
🎼
So in many of the towns and villages in El Salvador and particularly on the
Ruta de la to Flores, lots of the buildings have these wonderful murals and
paintings on the side, this one behind me has pictures of schoolchildren, because
it is the school, is the local school and it's just so lovely and colourful that it
brightens up the buildings.
🎼
Come down to 'Entre Nubes Cafe' and this is a very special place.
🎼
So I am here with Danny, who is the owner of this beautiful place, it called
'Entre Nubes Cafe' well 'Entre Nubes' is very happy to have you
here, this is a family business that has been operating for the past 20 years and
we have tried to do something else here, we have tried to integrate the coffee
farm with a beautiful garden and the best restaurant in the area.
🎼
So you can come to El Salvador, feel safe, enjoy the weather and come to
'Entre Nubes' to have the best meal, surrounded by the
most beautiful flowers, in the best weather of El Salvador!
Amazing and I have
to agree the temperature here is absolutely perfect for me,
it's a lovely temperate climate, in fact you can tell that by this beautiful
garden, it's got lovely hydrangeas which hate the real hard Heat. 'Entre Nubes' has
plants from different latitudes and longitudes of the planet, which will
provide the certainty, that every time that you come in to 'Ente Nubes' no
matter the time of the year, you will always be able to see flowers, ten
kilometres or 12 kilometres south of Ahuachapan, we are in the Western side of
El Salvador, in the mountain region, that has the largest coffee
plantations in the country, and also is where the best coffee of the world is
produced. I have just tried your coffee, and it is exquisite! Thank you very much!
Thank you very much I am flattered, I am a bit of a coffee connoisseur, I love coffee, I've tried lots of
different coffee, and that's way up there! Thank you.
We've been welcomed by Daniel and Ivania, onto this beautiful finca / coffee area
and I was just saying to them, how much we appreciate how beautiful these
gardens are, and how much somebody must have worked so hard, every area around
every corner, there is just something beautiful and special and it's been
tweaked to just look amazing! Look at every single flower, they are just
beautiful, I am gonna drive Chris crazy talking about flowers !!
🎼
This is actually a perfect example, of how I was explaining that they plant
tall trees. In rows and then in between the trees, they plant the coffee bushes.
So they create big squares, with tall trees, so in the windy season, it protects
the bushes.
🎼
So we've walked to the back of the plantation here and we've come up to a
viewing point, where we got beautiful views over the coffee plantation that you
can see behind us and its really lovely. The climate here up in the altitude is
much cooler than we're used to here in El Salvador and it's really comfortable.
So if you do come on the Ruta de la Flores, this is definitely a place you
should pop in, to have a cup of coffee, or some lunch, it is amazing!
So you can
actually see the coffee tree behind me, and there are a few beans on it, is not
actually the height of their coffee season. Amazing! I've never actually seen
coffee growing personally myself, and this is where your coffee comes from, that
you drink every day, back home.
And we've just met up with these guys, at ...... start again ..... CUT! We do a lot of that !!
Now there is a chicken and they are going to put in a pot !! SOUP !!
he looks scared !!
Here is a finca - a coffe farm .. they also .... play lots of music !!
I'm sorry that I'm all sweaty, we can't see that ..we can put make up and edit ... can you make like a
dragon here, yeah big muscles!
