Salcajá

The town of Salcajá houses the Iglesia de San Jacinto, allegedly the oldest church in Central America. The town is also known for homemade fruit liquor that tastes like desert wine, rompopo, an egg and cream rum that tastes like the sweetest eggnog your grandma ever made, and also traditional textile weaving.

We roamed around a distillery house, saw an upstairs loom setup, a tethered rooster and a crucified barbie doll. A satisfying afternoon.
