Such a great looking city. And for a capital city it still have the local original vibe i feel. Many captital cities in the world are so focussed on tourists that it feels a bit fake full of tourist traps. This is not the case here it looks like. Such a possitive experience. Everyone is doing their thing. Fantastic!
Gabriel, you did not show the new incredible library. You had it in front of you in the plaza and then you walked right past it. It is an incredible building housing the best library in all of Latin America. How can you have missed this?
It's incredible indeed I'm wondering as well as Gabriel is more into the coins than discovering Salvadoran culture as typical food...but I'm thankful for his video of my country the new El Salvador 🇸🇻
@@devin1862 Hi, as someone from Guatemala, let me tell you that we love each other (except in football) and have considered reuniting many times (the latest time in 2019). There is an entire organization with that purpose. However this unificaction is more like an European union sort of thing, not a literal single country.
Bukele was re-elected on february 4 with around 85 % of the vote. He was involved in changing the rules I believe to be able to be re-elected for a second term. I think that is only good for the people , the country and the future. A lovely center. I talked to a number of Salvadorians visiting from the US telling me about the huge changes that has happened over the last few years. How they even didn't dare visiting their own home country at times which says a lot. The cathedral was really beautiful. I didn't go into the library (chinese money) which is said to be really nice, cause the queues were always hundreds of meters both of my days wandering around the center. The temperature was really nice when I was there during the day and even a bit cold in the evenings. One trip I enjoyed was a trip on local bus to the Puerto del Diablo. A bit touristy (locals) but lovely views up top. Volcan de San Salvador, another trip I did was a bit overrated.
Tack Så mycket!!! Thanks for your comment about my country and it has more to improve with God's help our president Bukele will do the best for our people🇸🇻 Greetings!
@@oseasdiaz2691 The people of El Salvador is a treasure. You deserve positive future now. I wish you all the best. Will be coming back as soon as I can and stay longer next time.
@@TheSwede70thanks so much for all your wishes to our country and the humble people 🇸🇻 and I'm looking forward to seeing the best future for our country as you can see is little land of territory in Central America but you got what you need closer and with good quality we have a way to go so get ready for that!!! God bless you.
Got stranded in San Salv for 3 days while backpacking thru Central America back in 2001… Sketchy AF!!! Glad to see it’s improving & am eager to see how Bukele does with round two, & BTC… interesting world!
Hi Gabriel, you must keep some of those coins for your nephew to add to the collection of American coins from San Salvador. I'm looking forward to seeing much more of the country in the next few days.
Also, since you have not mentioned it: Bitcoin is an official currency of El Salvador. You will see QR codes for it everywhere to use as a form of payment. When I was there I bought a beer with bitcoin. There is also "Bitcoin Beach" near El Tunco which is a nice area as well.
Nice taste of El Salvador so far. Cheap food and beer, beautiful church in San Salvador and vibrant markets. Glad to hear it is a lot safer these days. Sounds like there is a lot to see and do there. Safe travels 😊❤️
El Salvadors constitution does not allow a second consecutive term. So what Nayib Bukele did was find a loophole an 6 months before his term ended he resigned with congressional approval and left power to his secretary the Current president Claudia Juana Rodríguez de Guevara. He then had approval to run for a second term since he was not currently the President.
El Salvador is a hidden gem of a country with almost no tourists, friendly people, delicious food, great surfing, and approximately 18 Mayan ruins. They have 20 volcanoes and many other natural places to see. The language they speak is a mixture of Spanish and Caliche.
Hey Gabe I looked at some flights last min to El Salvador the other day on Orbitz which Ik is not the greatest for prices generally but saw some flights from nyc one way for as low as 75 dollars!!! I couldn’t believe it I wonder if the gov. Is getting incentives from airlines because of the new emphasis on tourism or something. Because I checked flights to neighboring Central American countries and although the prices were still pretty cheap they were still atleast double or triple that price. I almost booked it on a whim but unfortunately I have work rn but will def keep an eye out in the summer when I have free time.
You'll get it, dollar coin in Riverside California Loundry mart change to use at laundry machine.Not only at laundry mart, but also you will get at soda and snack machine dollars coins
I hope that you gave the lady sitting on the street a different coin because I collect coins but I have never seen a Martin Van Buren $1 coin in circulation here in the United States. People who may get them as change from a store probably keep them. I have received the John Kennedy Half Dollar coins from stores quite a few times though. Also, you should have kept it for your nephew in California who collects coins.
Yes the country has become much safer under this president. He is criticized for putting people in jail without due process though. My wife's niece is a doctor in El Salvador and she can't even afford a car or many other things Americans take for granted. If the country could attract more tourism it would help a lot. I believe the biggest source of income for El Salvador is ex pats sending money to family members in the country.
Gabe the president dollar coins are a series. There is even a Richard Nixon dollar coin 😂 and yes u can spend in the US. You just don't see many cause they didn't make a lot of them.
I always wondered what it was like walking around latin america with a camera. It seems fine here. I heard a lot of stories about people on motorbikes snatching them.
@GabrielTravelerVideos Thanks so much Gabriel for showing the new El Salvador 🇸🇻 and things has changed by God's grace and our president Bukele. Sooner or later to be the example for other nations in the world.
Case example of first come the guns and the money follows. In 10 years it will be the gem of Central America. Now that all the criminals are in jail you will only find nice peaceful friendly people on the streets. The criminals are literally scared to death. It'll just need some more time to clean up upgrade infrastructure and churn out some educated youth. IMO, having recently traveled central america extensively I expect great things from El Salvador in the very near future.
The Presidential Dollar proved to be unpopular amongst the American public and are today rarely seen in everyday commerce. However, they are frequently used in Ecuador and El Salvador, two nations that have adopted the United States dollar.
@imtheboss2047 I think he is not familiar with the strike app / btc lightning he didn't even know. btc is the legal tender there. USD only up to 20 usd bills are accepted. 50 or 100 is not accepted.
About the president being removed, what happened was he went for reelección so he has to leave the presidency 6 months before e takes possession again in June.
Bukele has recently been re-elected. And he will take office again in June 2024. You had the new library in front of you. It is one of the most modern and largest libraries in Latin America
This country has so much potential! Great weather, beautiful colonial architecture. They could really capitalise on Americans & Canadians looking to migrate as The West goes into decline.
I was hoping that Gabriel would lift the sloth across the road and away from being run over by traffic. He doesn't focus on animals as in that hilly area of India, he did not closely film those giant white rabbits that ladies were holding on the street. I wanted to see him interact with those rabbits close up. He also shows fruit and produce from a distance unlike most You Tubers. .
I waited on the road and alerted traffic until he got across. If you'd seen the bugs on that little fella up close I doubt you would have picked it up. Also I'm considered a hero in the world of snails: th-cam.com/video/gSClyz-68dw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B6x1uzeZWqaaO2l5&t=482
The $1 coins are a series that was created from 2007 to 2011 and includes all the US presidents (except the ones who are still alive).
and the date is on the edge of the coin
USD is just fiat trash anyway. Bitcoin is slowly demonetizing EVERYTHING. IYKYK.
Correct. Some people collect them and I remember your nephew likes coins so keep a few different ones!
