Everyone knows San Juan del Sur, either by personal experience or by reputation! We visited over Semana Santa, which wasn't exactly the best move! We had no hotel reservation, and of course there was nothing available, so we made it a long day trip!
The young men in the photo above were some of the happy hordes passing the time on the main street by the beach. Many hawkers of sunglasses, watches, fruit and other goodies lined the sidewalks. The streets were completely overrun by people -- most dressed for swimming and relaxing. We didn't see many foreigners, which surprised us since we had heard so much about San Juan del Sur being taken over.
The beach and surrounding areas were beautiful, although over-crowded. But the crowds were happy! We arrived in late morning and people watched for a long time, and watched the sun set over the water. The entire atmosphere was of festive summer joy, which is part of the message of the celebration of Semana Santa.
