Stories From a Boy From Usulutan

There are more than 20 countries in the span of land that constitutes Latin America, and all of them have a rich and beautiful cultural history. The lands are full of stories. Scary ones, sweet ones, moral ones. Everyone knows “La Llorona” but there are so many more out there.

When my father was growing up in El Salvador, in the city of Usulután, he heard these stories. Every once in a while I like to ask him about these figures, and do my own research into this aspect of the country. Here I’ve written down the stories he remembered best.
