As I said on another tip page, all towns in Panama have at least one Patron Saint. In the village of Peņa Blanca, which is a few miles south of Las Tablas, they recently celebrated a fiesta of their townīs patron, St. Anthony of Padua, or San Antonio de Padua. He is the Patron Saint of fishermen, also, and since Peņa Blanco is close to the Pacific, that is appropriate, although, I doubt if any men in the town are engaged in commercial fishing, because it is far enough inland that it wouldnīt be feasable for the locals to be engaged in fishing. But they had a nice fiesta, with a candlelight procession that wound itīs way all through the town. Again, this was not a wild party, but a religious celebration, so no borrachos were dancing in the streets, it was a colorful, subdued celebration.
