The town is quite sleepy, especially at night, but has an active market in the mornings, where the main products seem to be nylon hammocks and bags.

Although a departmental capital, there is not a great deal to Gotera. It's handy stopping off point for a trip to the Museum of the the Revolution further north, in Perquín, which is worth a visit.

MANY THINGS

There are plenty of decent comedores around, where you can pick up a plate of beans, rice, eggs, various meat and vegetable dishes for next to nothing. There is also a fast food chicken restaurant. Comedor Melita was good for a filling breakfast. And there are plenty of pupusa stalls everywhere, some veggie if you ask.
