El Salvador is a very small country, I think the smallest in the world , and it has only 14 departments... 
The traditional food or dishes are pupusas ( corn flour with cheese and beans , cheese , beans and pork and more different combinations) ....  The  Salvadorian breakfasts ( tortilla with beans , cheese, eggs, avocado, sour cream and plantains)  ...... 
My favorite Holiday is Independence Day . 
Independence Day is celebrated on September 15 
That day is very important because that was the day that El Salvador got its Freedom from Spain ...
September 15, 1821 was when they won Independence .
