Origins and history of mixology

Anyone who has ever been curious about a cocktail and this has led him to inquire about the origins of the combination of concoctions, surely has encountered the difficulty of drawing a line that takes from our days to the moment of birth. And as happens with mixtures, with the art itself to make them happens three quarters of the same. The bifurcations that we find in history, reaching the beginning of the whole, are more than numerous. When we speak of an origin and a history we must use the plural.

Panama The Crossroads of the Americas

Before traveling to a new destination, I always try to do some background research. However, before my visit to Panama, I was unable to study the destination in advance. What resulted was an eye-opening experience I didn’t see coming. I had been to Central America twice before, and loved it, so I had high expectations, but Panama still surprised me.

National Holidays: Panama Celebrates its History Throughout the Month of November

But Panama, in a way, is unique in the way they celebrate. Most of your national holidays are in the month of November. Along with December Christmas and the start of the dry summer season, November is truly the start of the holiday season and a fun time to mingle and socialize with the locals. There are five official national holidays in the month of November, but it feels like more, since many are close to the weekend, or give rise to people adding them to their vacation time per year. Here is more about what you are celebrating and how you celebrate.

Barro Fest: Tradition - Culture – Rock

A group of young entrepreneurs have developed a cultural festival called “Barro Fest”, which celebrates the power of the community that we find in the tradition of the Embarra Board and in the indie rock scene.

Caliope - Top 10 restaurants in Panama

Of majestic air and wearing a golden crown that indicates its supremacy, this is how Caliope appears on Olympus, as the muse of eloquence and poetry. But here in Panama its name is synonymous with creativity and experience that result in an unprecedented gastronomic proposal. Located on the third floor of the Teatro Amador, in the heart of the magical Old Town of Panama City, is Caliope, a restaurant that presents impeccably, and under the baton of Chef Martino Pace, the fusion of international cuisine with Patio ingredients, which makes each dish not only a unique experience but also evokes memories of flavours already forgotten in the palate.

Playa Venao – an Oceanside Retreat for Electronic Music Lovers

While traveling in Panama, one cannot miss Playa Venao, a dreamy surf town located on the Pacific Ocean of the Azuero Peninsula. Its natural beauty and activities on offer make it a universal destination appealing to an audience with variety of passions. Surfing, fishing and gourmet dining are complemented by great electronic music showcases that happen several times a year. Even though this might come as a surprise – this small beach destination indeed is home to some of the best boutique music events in Central America.

The 5 Best Rum Ponche of Panama

It is a thick drink that is used to toast for good health. Some may consider it a dessert or a "night cup" before sleeping, but what is really true is that punch rum is part of the Christmas celebration. We have selected five recipes that must be tested on these dates.

Las Tablas is the most populated city among all those located south of the Panamanian isthmus

Las Tablas is the most populated city among all those located south of the Panamanian isthmus. It is located on the Pacific side and although it is not known exactly when it was founded, the tradition indicates that it was established by the Spanish sailor Don Gil Jacinto de Barahona, at the end of the 17th century.

Parade of the Thousand Polleras adorns Las Tablas

Some 112 delegations, 42 allegorical cars and more than 17 thousand women dressed in polleras de gala, montuna, embroidered, darned, coquito, talc in shade, talcum in the sun or shaded, polleras congo and others who opted for the stylized dress participated in the the eighth version of the Parade of the Thousand Polleras. This year the standard bearers were Samy and Sandra Sandoval accompanied the queen of the capital carnival 2018 Yanidia Maure and her princesses Natasha Vargas and Leydis González. "I feel proud to wear the pollera, to be the standard bearer and to share this moment with the small town. It's the third time I've seen it, and this parade does not lack anything, they have to do it four times a year, "said Sandra Sandoval. While the administrator of the Tourism Authority Gustavo Him, I point out that the parade, in addition to extolling our cultural and folkloric expressions exposing the beauty of the pollera, also seeks to promote tourism and family coexistence. The parade began in the Governorate of the city of Las Tablas, continuing along the street of Paseo Carlos López, down to Bolívar street and returning through the 8 de Noviembre street until finishing at the grounds of the Royal Gin Garden.

Panama City Food Tour

Before the Spanish conquerors arrived at the isthmus, the indigenous groups ate corn, squash, otoe, yucca, tapir meat, zaino and squirrel, as well as fruits such as bananas and pixbae. The Spaniards not only imposed monoculture and extensive breeding of cattle, but it took a long time to give up their European diet: olives, wine, oranges, chickpeas and eggplants.
