Casco Viejo de Panama

Evening walk around Casco Viejo, Panama. Reminiscent of the French Quarter of New Orleans or perhaps Havana, Casco Viejo is the oldest city on the Pacific coast of the Americas. At the mouth of the Panama Canal, just minutes outside Panama City, the city is a true cultural gem. When the French made their attempt to build the Panama Canal in 1881, Casco Viejo was where they hung their hangout. So Casco Viejo is filled with French balconies and French architecture which overlaps the Spanish architecture.
