EL SALVADOR ~ Map ~

... A fantastic colourful and picturesque map card coming from the faraway El Salvador... a country of beautiful contrasts... showing a lot of landmarks all throughout the country... and with the national bird, known as "Torogoz"... being the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador was fondly given the nickname “Pulgarcito de America”, or “Tom Thumb of the Americas”... it is also known as “the country with a smile” because the locals are friendly, helpful, and hospitable... with two great stamps and interesting clear oval cancellation, which are typical for most of the South and Central American countries... Thanks a lot William!! (✿ ♥‿♥)
El Salvador is the smallest country and also the most densely populated nation in Central America. This mountainous country is bordered by the Pacific Ocean, Guatemala, and Honduras.The capital  is San Salvador, also its largest city.

This tiny country is dominated by several volcanoes. The volcanoes spew lava, which over many years, creates fertile farmland. Coffee beans are the major crop grown here.

El Salvador is divided into 14 departments.The departments are grouped into three regions for statistical and geographic purposes; Western Region, Central Region and Eastern Region.

Stamps:
History of Aviation in El Salvador
(Issued ?-10-2017)

Diplomatic Relations with Taiwan
(Issued 14-10-2016)
