Personal comments
Best party scene in Central America without a doubt. Calle Uruguay is a great place to be at night with all sorts of cafes and nightclubs. No real sports teams that I heard of besides soccer, which is dominated by locals. Great beaches and great traveling experiences. Great place for a surfer.
