    Alegría, Usulután – Pueblo vivo (kelvin)

      
    Of Nahuatl origin, Alegria means "Stone Lagoon". Beautiful tourist and cozy
    paradise that transports you to a place with incredible Salvadoran beauty. A
    humble and simple town that will fill you with surprises when discovering the
    treasure that this municipality has hidden.
    The municipality of Alegría is located north of the department of Usulután, about
    142 km from San Salvador and 28 km north of the departmental capital.

    History (Tadeo)
    When the department of Usulután was founded, the municipality of Tecapa was
    also established in 1865; and in 1879 he obtained the title of city. Then, in 1890 it
    was renamed Alegría, in honor of the presbyter José Miguel Alegría for his
    illustrious work, delivery and teaching to the population of that town.
    Alegría is a town that has a very cool climate, since it is located at just over 1,240
    m.s.n.m and is surrounded by coffee plantations, which build its main heritage; In
    addition, a variety of ornamental plants are cultivated in the various nurseries. We
    find excellent viewpoints and flowers to admire the beauty of nature.

    Customs and traditions (Ricardo)


    Festivities:
    The celebration of its festivities is from June 26 to 29 and its festivities are held
    from September 26 to 29, in honor of San Miguel Arcángel.
    Mythologies:
    A legend has it that once a year, a boy gets lost in the lagoon, whose main reason
    for disappearing is a criollo siren, who catches him in his love affairs through his
    song and beauty.
    Others say that in the center of the lagoon there is a "siren" that sucks the poor
    who dare to swim in its waters. Today the "Little Mermaid" must have emigrated,
    because there is almost no water.
    There are others who say that according to the legend of the Laguna de Alegría,
    there is a siren that lives in the bottom of the waters, who likes handsome men and
    young people. If someone bathes in the lagoon and the mermaid falls in love with
    them, he catches them by taking them to the bottom. After a few days, he releases
    them and they return to the surface without life.
    Crafts and Gastronomy (Manuel)
    The crafts are worked with the wood and roots of coffee, and it is common to find
    furniture and games made with these types of materials. In Alegría they prepare a
    special type of sweet known as Alfajor and also a sweet corn that needs a time of
    15 days for its preparation, which is only prepared in the rural communities of this
    place. Hotels and Hostels In the municipality of Alegría we find different hotels and
    hostels to be able to stay and have a good time. Among them are:

    Laguna de Alegría (Lissette)

    The crater of the Tecapa volcano has a small lagoon of yellow-green waters,
    considered one of the most beautiful places in the country and named "La
    Esmeralda de América" by the Chilean poet and Nobel Prize winner Gabriela
    Mistral.

    The lagoon is surrounded by a primary forest, its waters have a charming turquoise
    color to which are attributed healing properties due to its high sulfur content. Site
    for rest, meditation and contemplation.
