I know this question have probably been asked many times however I didn't see many recent posts regarding the topic.

As of December 2025, how is the situation in San Salvador specifically? I am someone looking to visit, I have visited a few other countries in the area such as Guatemala in the past and felt very safe.

I see on some country safety advisories about El Salvador that due to the state of exception there has been times the police/government have arrested or detained foreign citizens with no due process.

Would love to get some info from locals, I plan on visiting next month and will be staying in san salvador.

Also will I be able to get by with english in San Salvador? I don't speak spanish at all. I was fine in Guatemala.
