Calicanto celebrated graduation No. 18
Casco Viejo, Panama Yesterday, at the Canal Museum in Casco Antiguo, Fundacion Calicanto celebrated the 18th graduation of their CAPTA program. This program prepares women from the neighborhood to work as house keepers in hotels, but it actually gives them much more: the full cycle includes self esteem modules that help them effectively break the cycle of poverty. From personal finances to emotional intelligence, it lights a small flame of hope that now can grow with them and extend to their families. Each graduation has 20 women, which means the program has transformed the lives of 360 families. Thanks to … Continue reading

Artisanal Brewing in Casco Viejo: La Rana Dorada
The first time I tasted artisanal beer was in Cuba. I remember being amazed at the machinery, the beautiful tanks and pipes… and the product was a lot of fun! Guess what? now we have one in Casco Viejo! check out La Rana Dorada: Located in front of the Centenario park in Casco Viejo, just at the very entrance to San Felipe, it has an outdoors terrace, so you can bring your dog! (always appreciated for all of us dog owners!). The space is well done, but the commanding piece is the beer brewery. Fantastic! they produce all sorts of … Continue reading
Shopping temptation: Papiro y Yo
Every time I enter Papiro y Yo I end up wanting to buy the entire store. It is one of my favorite places to get small gifts when I travel (and just for myself). They have a beautiful collection of things ranging from jewelry made with recycled materials (even fish scales, which was the traditional way to make jewelry in Panama) to organic honey, woven bags and hand made greeting cards. Papiro y Yo is at the back of Hotel Central, you`ll bump into their handmade hats and bags … no risk of getting lost! Here are some photos:

Two Parties at Two Panamanian Historic Sites: Panama Viejo and Casco Antiguo
This weekend, a special event put in the map of young Panamanians two historic towns that are also UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Panama La Vieja and Casco Viejo. Gabo Castillo from Hip Magazine and clothing designer Annie Chajin decided to do a “man to man” (or woman?) competition to see who could get the best party going. Gabo picked Panama La Vieja and Annie kept her turff at Casco Viejo. It was a complete success, both towns were filled up with people that came from everywhere. Casco Viejo offered probably the best package: the “ruta del Casco” (the path of … Continue reading
