, EToday I have visited to site that were nearby and also close from San Salvador (only 35-40 km away).
Joya de Cerén had no big buildings like pyramids or temples. However it had a farmer village and also the Mayan hammam. Indeed the village has been buried under the ashes of a volcano, so the houses have been kept intact by the ashes. They even have found some carbonised food or seeds (cacao, beans, corn, etc).
On the other hand in San Andrés, I have been back to the pyramids I've seen in my previous visits. Apparently San Andrés was the capital of the whole valley surrounding it.
This site also gave me a nice view of the aforesaid valley.
