Nombre de Dios in Panama, Vera Cruz …
Years: 1540 - 1683
Nombre de Dios in Panama, Vera Cruz in Mexico, and Cartagena in Colombia are the only three ports in Spanish America authorized by the crown to trade with the homeland, beginning early in the sixteenth century.
The system becomes regularized by the mid-1560s, and two fleets sail annually from Spain, one to Mexico, and the other to southern ports.
These fleets then rendezvous at Havana and return together to Cadiz, Spain.
In principle, this rigid system will remain in effect until the eighteenth century.
From the middle of the seventeenth century, however, as the strength and prosperity of Spain declines, annual visits become the exception.
