Concepcion de Ataco

What Colorful happy place this is!
Located in Ahuachapan, right after Apaneca you will find this colorful, beautiful, peaceful little town.
Ataco se encuentra en la zona central del departamento de Ahuachapán, compartiendo la zona montañosa del centro del departamento. Está limitado al Norte por Ahuachapán; al Oeste por Tacuba; al Este por Apaneca y San Pedro Puxtla; al Sur por Jujutla y Guaymango. Recorrer Ataco, es como regresar en el tiempo, sus fiestas patronales son celebradas del 11 al 15 de diciembre en honor a la Virgen de Concepción. En este poblado todavía podemos ver algunas de sus calles empedradas, un legado de la colonia. La población nativa de Ataco aun guarda muchas de las costumbres y tradiciones de los abuelos, que pasa de generación a generación por medio de tradición oral, preservando hasta ahora un poco de nuestra cultura nahua.

Do you see the cross above the trees between the clouds? that is "El Mirador d la Cruz" you walk all the way up there and you will find the most beautiful view of the town!



"Mirador de la Cruz"

Hubby & I had to taake a picture in the doorsteps of the pretty little church.


The place is beautiful and so peaceful, the weather is amazing you can feel a cool brezee with the sunshine touching your skin, the streets are filled with Colorful cafe´s, Art galeries, craft stores and small hotels with so many things to see, do and to eat! the food was great, there are a lot of different restaurants, from french cousine, italian, spanish and best of all the traditional food from Ataco!

Vintage doilies and Lace




Vintage doilies have been transformed into new designs but for most of us a grandma's house comes to mind...Too fussy looking for my taste, but it does cast some beautiful shadows on the wall.

Misha Lulu

Misha Lulu is inspired by their Muse Isabela their baby girl, faith, latin culture and childhood memories; is a family owned and operated fashion brand founded by talented joe and Karen Salazar; Karen a native of El Salvador went to the US in the late 80's to study fashion design and they use art, nature and family as the foundation of their apparel collection.
What I love the most about Misha Lulu is that Grandma Chol makes all the knitted stuff and Abuelita Balnquita hand paints all the aprons :)
As Karen is isnpired by her family I relate to her because I'm also very inspired and influence by my grandmother who was a dress maker so her passion for sewing has now become my passion as well.








Check out her amazing work!: http://www.mishalulu.com
