Christmas Posadas Bring Costa Rican Communities Together

As the year-end approaches, you will notice Costa Rica transforms into a mixture of Christmas traditions, blending Catholic heritage with local customs. Understanding the significance of Costa Rican Christmas offers a way of getting into the festive spirit. From the nightly posadas to tamales, let’s unwrap the gift of Costa Rican Christmas traditions. Christmas Traditions in Costa Rica In Costa Rica, most Christmas celebrations have a Catholic background, reflecting the country’s religion. The essence of Christmas remains the same: it is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, and it is a time for reflection and celebration. This is also the case in most Latin American countries. Costa Rica adds its flair to the festivities. Streets and homes are adorned with lights and decorations, featuring tropical elements like palm trees alongside nativity scenes.

Scents and Sensibility in Costa Rica: The Fragrant Life of a Tico Expat

About five percent of the world suffer from anosmia– having no sense of smell. Everyone has likely experienced this at least once on a temporary basis when hit with a severe cold or sinus infection. One of the main side effects of covid as well, is loss of the sense of smell. This malady can greatly affect your health and general quality of life and it is always a relief when the olfactory system returns to normal. We live in a country with an abundant variety of scents, both natural and unnatural. Natural: The aromatic tropical flowers like the ilang-ilang, the gardenia, the bouganvillea, the reina de la noche; the tangy smokiness of food cooked over a lena fire; the salty, lightly pungent smell of the ocean at high tide; the delicious scent of fresh brewed coffee.

Panama President Warns Nicaragua Over Political Asylum Dispute

“Nicaragua has neither God nor law,” says the President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, who accused Nicaragua of disrespecting international law and warned that he will take measures if former Panamanian president Ricardo Martinelli continues to send political messages from the Nicaraguan embassy, where he has been granted asylum. “Nicaragua is a country that has neither God nor law, we are not working with an ordinary country that respects international law. It respects neither international nor internal law, nor any law,” Mulino stated during his weekly press conference. Mulino demanded that Daniel Ortega’s government comply with international conventions that establish that asylum seekers must refrain from making political comments. “Let’s not transform that or any embassy into a political center and partisan political activity, neither for nor against anyone. I hope Nicaragua understands that this is the first warning we are making,” he stated. Mulino made these statements after th...
