Casco Viejo, Panama´s own mini Havana Vieja
I first visited Havana Vieja in Cuba around 1996. It was a very interesting trip from which I learned a lot about our common roots, despite our different current political lives. Culture and architecture reflects our spirits… Continue reading
Travel Panama: African and Christian Religious Celebrations meets at Casco Antiguo
Ever since the slavery trade times, African traditional religions have been concealed by their followers under Christianity… for obvious reasons. Today, many, many years later, the reminiscent are still there. And in Casco Viejo, very much alive! Continue reading
Book Awareness Week at Casco Antiguo, Panama
A classic Monday morning in Casco Viejo: I was on the phone and at the same time answering emails (or deleting early spam… somehow the prince of Mombatu is still considering sending me at least $200,000 directly to my bank account, no papers signed) when suddenly a loud noise started to approach. “Drums…. Drums in the deep”… I thought, just like the Lord of the Rings episode when the good guys where about to get attacked by ugly orks. Continue reading
Caribbean Travel Special: Panama and Casco Viejo Phrase Book
Ke Sopa? Priti! …. No, you are not in some weird and lost island in the Pacific, you are in Panama, where Caribbean culture meets… well… everybody.

Today, we celebrate its 100 year anniversary with a bit of history and wonderful events in August and October. Check out my Virtual Tour! Continue reading
Slideluck Potshow in Casco Viejo, Panama
I have to admit it: as a spanish speaker (and naive one when it comes out to words and literal meanings) I had no idea what a Slideluck Potshow meant. Having grown up watching movies where “pot” is used to refer to a very specific aromatic herb I was getting the idea this artistic event was getting way too artistic! Also, the blend of slide with luck really made no sense at all. But then I found out is actually a cool event, and a good thing I kept my ignorance to myself while the organizers explained everything in details… … Continue reading
