This is where the “Camino Real” was born, a\nroad that enables the transport of gold and products between the Spanish\nColonies, Peru, the Mulatas Islands and Spain. During the years of the economic\nboom, Nombre de Dios was attacked and burned by the famous English pirate\nFrancis Drake in 1572, which allowed the City of Portobelo to later become the\nAtlantic terminal of \u201cCamino Real”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
