Yes, we went there with my wife for honeymoon last year. It was quite refreshing to be surrounded by Bitcoiners, at least for some time. I'm very certain next time I will reach El Zonte, the place will look quite different. Fingers crossed for El Salvador to prosper and its people to benefit from Bitcoin.

It was very undeveloped in El Zonte. Just a stark contrast of this being the Bitcoin beach, yet struggling to have electricity going, mud roads and quite basic houses. Really reminded me Africa, but it was great to be able to pay everyone with Lightning. I could see quite lot of flaws with their local "payment system", but hey. Things have to start somehow. Good place for surfing!

Surfed once before, was terrible. I'll add el salvador surfing to the bucket list.
