The Devil's Gateway and Balboa Park

We left San Salvador on a day trip to a local park and view point. The park was pretty and green with lots of paths and childrens play areas. There were hot snacks to be bought and shade to be sought.
From the park, we walked a mile uphill to La Puerta del Diablo, a rock formation and panoramic viewpoint. A stiff, sweaty climb to the very top rewarded us with plenty of wispy cloud obscuring the views of San Salvador and supposedly to the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, things still looked pretty through the clouds. All in all, it was a great respite from the exciting but busy and noisy city below.
