This Caribbean province is on the north side of the Panama Canal. Columbus is the land of the Congos, descendants of African slaves who have preserved the legacy of their ancestors, primarily expressed in their music vibrant and inviting, sensual dances in the rhythm of drums and their flashy costumes. The African heritage is also noticeable in how to prepare your meals, especially seafood, which are greatly appreciated. In the towns of Portobelo and San Lorenzo, silent walls of the Spanish forts preserve the memory of the attacks of famous pirates like Henry Morgan and Edgar Vernon and privateers as Francis Drake, whose remains lie beneath the waters of the Bay of Portobelo.(source: Republic of Panama)
