Quizfrage

Is it called Otrobanda or Otrabanda (the district of Willemstad)?

Antwort

Both are correct!

In the literal translation from the local language Papiamentu, Otrobanda means the “other side”. It doesn’t matter whether you say Otrobanda or Otrabanda, confirms Pablo from Iguana Ride, who offers city tours on e-scooters through the various districts.

Otrabanda is the district of Willemstad that lies opposite Punda. The St. Annabaai strait separates the two districts. How do you get across? The Queen Emma Bridge is for pedestrians, and the Queen Juliana Bridge is for all motor vehicles.

The picture shows the Briónplein in Otrobanda/Otrabanda with the flag of Curacao.

The Briónplein is located in Otrobanda or Otrabanda

    Why was Curacao once called the "Island of Giants"?

    Answer

    Curacao was first discovered in 1499 by Alonso de Ojeda, a lieutenant of Christopher Columbus.
