About Iruña – Hostal y Fonda
Iruña — named after a Basque city — is a Spanish-inspired hostal and restaurant at 1,477m elevation in Apaneca, blending European comfort with Ruta de las Flores highland charm. The kitchen fires up its signature paella and serves tapas alongside imported cuts of grilled meats and fresh seafood, all in a warm mountain setting two blocks from Apaneca's central park. Open Thursday through Sunday, Iruña also offers seven comfortable apartments for overnight stays, making it a natural base for exploring the western highlands of El Salvador.
