Central El Salvador valley capital at 658m elevation, ringed by volcanoes (Volcán de San Salvador immediately west). Colonia Escalón and Santa Tecla (immediately west) are the upscale residential anchors; Zona Rosa is the dining-and-nightlife strip. El Salvador's DNV launched 2023 ($1,460/mo income, 2-year with renewal). The structural draws are Bitcoin-as-legal-tender (the country adopted BTC as legal tender 2021), proximity to El Zonte and El Tunco (Pacific surf coast, 45min south), and mild high-altitude tropical climate. The structural filter is security volatility — gang violence has declined dramatically since 2022 but verify advisories.
