- In this video, we take you around the beautiful city of Santa Ana, El Salvador. This beautiful city is El Salvador's second biggest and has some of the best preserved architecture in the country. There are a number of attractions inside and out of the city including markets, events, and beautiful natural experiences. Today, we walk through the history of Santa Ana and important landmarks such as the National Theatre, the Santa Ana Cathedral, and the beautiful parque libertad. We are also here at the perfect time for a very interesting festival: The Festival de Maiz! This festival is used to pray and get ready for the next corn harvest season. We were able to witness this community celebration with music, dancing, corn foods, and the crowning of this year's corn queen! 😊🌽

Ricos los elotes locos 😊
Tortas are Mexican but El Salvador has its own traditional sandwich called “Pan con Pavo” which is made with turkey, a traditional thick sauce made of spices, fresh vegetables, and a cole slaw made with mayo, mustard, and other traditional spices.
ahh yes! We've seen a lot of Pan con Pavo stands 😋
that tortas call mexican tortas, so it is not Mexican tortas only has the name that is. I don't know why but the Salvadorenos call it, So in Mexico they don't know the tortas Mexicanas
It is not called "Pan con Pavo" is called panes rellenos and is made with gallina india and is more like a traditional food that we cook for Christmas time but we can also eat it any time of the year, tortas is way different than panes rellenos o panes con pollo even the bread is different.
Nah dude you're tripping, El Salvador has another type of tortas, made of ham, letter, tomato, cucumber, avocado and some kind of steak 😂🤦♂️ you slowed those tortas are found mostly in the streets
Santa Ana, El Salvador 🇸🇻 🍰🌴✨🎨

El turismo en esa zona es de lo mejor los alimentos son antojitos en todo el país el elote loco es de los más apetitosos en las fiestas patronales en todo el país y también la torta qué hay de muchos sabores en su mayoría todos son muy buenos la base principal de la torta es que siempre deben de llevar aguacate y frijoles untados como mantequilla adicional a eso llévame los ingredientes del gusto del cliente
Ya sea carne de res o de cerdo también puede ser de pollo ojo de jamón también mortadela queso y otros ingredientes
Guys Mexican food is very famous at El Salvador same to pupusa! It's very strange find a dirty apartment, it isn't always. Well.. guys welcome to my city Santa Ana yupi🎉
We love Santa Ana :) Thanks for watching
I stumbled on your channel by accident, I will be traveling there in june, was looking for things to do, food to eat, looks great and SAFE.... I am surprised you can just walk around without fear. awsome job on your videos... and if you make money from these videos then that is commercial use...
Visiten El divino Salvador de el Mundo
I just came back from visiting after 30 yrs. The Cathedral has a stairway that leads to the top of roof of the church. I believe it was a $2 dolllar fee, great view. Also visit the waterpark name "Sihuatehuacacan " if it gets to hot, it does have a water slide. Also, the recently open a mirador " Viewpoint " near your bus stop in the video, but its a uphill trek. The viewpoint overlooks all Santa Ana. Safe Travels.
Oh wow I can't believe we missed the stairway! Sounds amazing
NICE, I MISS EL SALVADOR, THANKS
Thanks for watching :)

Beautiful Country.
So beautiful ❤️
Thank you for this video. Amazing!!
Thank you for watching ❤️
Loved the videos guys! When watching you guys eat elotes locos, it reminded me that us Salvadorans like to use Worcestershire sauce. Yes, the English dark red/black sauce. Not sure why it's popular. So if you were ever wondering what that sauce is, it might be "salsa Inglesa".
Yes! I thought that was super interesting! 😄
Saludos espero la estén pasando vien ak en el pulgarcito les recomiendo que visiten el espíritu de la montaña es un mirador hermoso saludos
Muchas gracias :)

Santa Ana is my favorite, you can check so many places near by, also consider trying a "pan con pavo or chumpe" it is our version of a torta, but made with Turkey, veggies, and a very tasty tomato sauce.
Oooh sounds delicious 😋
14:00 it's mayo, mustard, ketchup and thickened worcestershire sauce that we call "salsa negra", on top you have it sprinkled with queso duro viejo :)
😋 Gracias
I love your videos guys, while you are there you should visit the "Tazumal" mayan pyramid, or the "joya de ceren" both very beautiful Mayan cites. Love Ya'll from Chicago ❤
Thank you so much 😊
HEY VERY COOL VIDEOS I LOVE IT YOU GUYS ARE AMAIZING AND QUE BUEN ESPANOL HOPEONE TIME YOU GUYS CAME BACK TO COLORADO KEEP THE GOOD WORK
Hello!! Thank you so much :) It was great meeting you the other day!
Im so happy you experienced el salvador! My homeland) I actually went to visit santa Anna in person and the structure is beautiful, definitely recommen.😊
Thank you for watching!! It is stunning
Marvelous video, guys, you deserve the recognition for your incredible job, thank you so much for being part of this change in our little but beautiful treasure.
Thank you so much Andy :) You always leave such kind comments. We greatly appreciate the support ❤️❤️
I think every Latin American has their own tortas they all different but delicious 😅 I love this video I’m from Santa Ana and I love how you guys show everywhere I used to walk when I was a kid 😢
Oh wow ❤️❤️ Thank you for watching. Santa Ana was very beautiful
I just subscribed. I have watched some of your videos. The reason I hadn't subscribed before is because many tourists go to El Salvador-in my opinion- just to get likes/views/subscriptions. But I think you guys are genuine. I love how you try to speak Spanish. As an emigrated person living in Canada and knowing what it's like having to learn a language I appreciate you guys doing a great job.
Thanks guys. beautiful video.😊 I love you ❤
Aww thank you so much! We are very interested in learning the most about the places we visit and hope to have our Spanish up to fluent one day ❤️ Thank you for your kind comment
Thank you Luis ❤️😊
Oh man look at that corn!!! 😳 Looks like you guys are having a blast in El Salvador. Love the guy selling a full on pizza on the bus too. Absolute classic. Cheers guys 🥰
A torta in El Salvador is any thick pancake shaped thing
For example a tortilla literally means small torta
A torta de huevo is like a round omelette and so on
Oh wow that is helpful to know! Thanks :)
@@JourneywithJenandDrew there's a few same named things that are different from what you'd expect because of famous Mexican food
If you're not there anymore it maybe doesn't matter but for example quesadilla in El Salvador is a sweet sesame cheese bread, empanada is a plantain cream dessert and pasteles are like meat empanadas
Tortas are spanish. They made french bread wider. Arab inspired them to add meat and sauce. Shawarma is flat bread with meat and sauce. They also inspired the taco and tortas. Bread, cured meats and cheese are European. Empanadas are Portuguese. Salvadorians call them pastelitos. Yuca if from Africa, same as coffee. And Peru invented the french fries. Because the patato is native to peru. French fries are a side dish like vegetable or a salad to them. Tomatoes, Red Hot Chillie peppers, Corn, squash, beans, pumpkins, berries, avocado's, dragon fruit, passion fruit are American. North, Central, south America these plants are native to the Americans.
I loved your videos about El Salvador guys!! Thank you for visiting our country 😊 I just wish you have more videos to upload about it haha
Thank you very much! :) More coming soon!
Did you guys try elotes loco?
Quesadillas is something that you would pair with coffee
😋😋 Yes!
Wow thanks for the invite 🙄
😲😆
Where did you guys stayed? That’s my city, haven’t been there in 30 years. Planning to go this December. Awesome video, thanks.
We stayed in an airbnb in an apartment complex! It was convenient :)
OF COURSE IS CHEESY THE WORD QUESADILLA MEANS MADE OF CHEESE. IT HAS SOME PARMESAN CHEESE AND CREAM CHEESE. PLUS FLOUR, AND SUGAR.
Excellente vídeo, Jen sos muy Bonita!
Muchas gracias!
🖐 q ondas Jen N Drew,todo bien ???
Buenas! 😊👋🏼 Todo bien! Gracias
@@JourneywithJenandDrew hey Drew,compraste las razor blades?? 🤣
Excellent? that you visited El Salvador. I hope you enjoyed it and liked the country. I am Salvadoran, US citizen, greetings from the U.S.A 👍😜
Saludos😊👋🏼 Thank you for watching!
Hope you reported that AirBNB at 2:00 so they improve their place!
Santa Ana is the mother of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God.
I don't drink fire water either.
How long does it take from San Salvador to Santa Ana?. I'm planning a trip with my mom to El Savador her father was originally from Santa Ana. We're travelling from Costa Rica.
Regards,
Around 2 hours by car. I recommend you to visit our National Theater in Santa Ana🥰
How many days would you recommend in San Salvador and Santa Ana?
Maybe like 2-3 near san salvador and surrounding area! And for Santa Ana maybe just 1 day! It’s very small and local :)
@@JourneywithJenandDrew Did you do El Tunco? If so how many days?
@@JourneywithJenandDrew how many would you recommend for El Tunco?
Question how long did it take you to learn Spanish??
Hello! We learned some in school but we really started to become serious about Spanish about 2 years ago :)
YOU SHOULD HAD ASK FOR A CLEANER ROOM...I'M SURE THEY WOULD HAD ACCOMODATE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE
Puebla
Some historians claim that the torta was created in Puebla, in south-central Mexico, before the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848. Under those circumstances, people sometimes lived hand-to-mouth and the torta reflects that kind of culture: it's filling, cheap to make, and easy to carry around.
That is so interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I ❤ you guys
❤️❤️❤️❤️
