In the last episode, I shared how a travel disaster turned into an unexpected viaje to Cartagena. In this episode, the journey continues with a spontaneous trip that will change my perspective forever: San Basilio de Palenque.

This episode takes you inside Palenque, a place with deep African roots, a unique culture, and a language all its own. 

If you've ever felt like your Spanish lessons were missing a connection to the real world, this historia is for you. It's proof that the best language lessons happen when you step out of your comfort zone and into the world.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The role trenzas (braids) played in the founding of this historic town πŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸ¦±
  • What makes the language of Palenque so unique in Latin America πŸ’¬
  • The strategy that made this community a nearly impenetrable fortress πŸ›–

Listen to this episode to continue a story that will inspire you and deepen your understanding of Afro-Latino history and culture.
