Independence From Spain

In Panama, November is an important month indeed. Known as the Month of Independence, there are a number of holidays that are celebrated in this month dedicated to the country’s self-autonomy. November 3rd is known as Separation from Colombia Day, November 4th is Flag Day, November 5th is Colón Day (celebration of Colombian forces not resisting Panama’s separation), and of course, there’s Independence from Spain.
This holiday is observed on the 28th of November each year. It commemorates the country’s separation from Spain and the country gaining its sovereignty. As the holidays of November reflect, independence for Panama was a long road, but in the eyes of the citizens, it was a journey that was well worth it.
