"Expats in El Sunzal often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Spanish is the primary language spoken and not everyone is fluent in English. The slower pace of life can also be a challenge for those accustomed to a fast-paced, highly scheduled lifestyle. Additionally, the local cuisine, while delicious, can be a drastic change for some, and adjusting to it can be difficult. The high levels of poverty and crime can also be challenging for expats, as they may not be used to such conditions. Lastly, understanding and adapting to local customs and traditions can be difficult for those not familiar with Salvadoran culture," remarked another expat in El Sunzal, El Salvador.
