La Libertad department:

- El Mirador de la Giralda, Comasagua/Talnique

El Mirador del la Giralda is a restaurant on the top of high, green mountains mountains, between the villages Comasagua and Talnique, above the Boqueron Volcano Valley, some hours drive West of and above San Salvador. The food is very good, and the views are extremely beautiful over the green mountains. There is also a nice cottage with a fireplace. The staff is very friendly and the prices are good (at least for a westener). In the evening there is sometimes live music high above the skies. The serve typical El Salvadorian food, like meat and salmon.

The big downpart is that the road that leads up there can be very dangerous, especially if you don't know the roads and drive a heavy vechicle up these extremely steep roads! The curves are also very sharp, and there are hidden parked vehicles that block the view of sight, and despite of that some vehicles drive like crazy! On top of that the entrance is hidden, to prevent unwanted people to get there, so it is very hard to find. So it is recommended that a local who knows where it is drives you there. We visited daytime, but is especially recommended to visit at sunset to watch the beautiful skies.
