My favorite thing about Central American capitals is that they've got some culture. I never see proper theaters anywhere else. So of couse I was stoked to find a production of King Lear, and in Spanish no less, conveniently located in a mall (why would you put a theater in a mall?) just a five minute walk outside my guesthouse and in a non-sketchy area I could actually walk safely to and from at night---there aren't many such places in San Salvador, this is MS-13 home turf. Unfortunately my Spanish is worse than my Middle English so I didn't get a lot of the dialogue but I was still able to tell that there is definitely some talent in this country.
