"Pedro: A Name That Echoes Through History" From the Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado to the engineering marvel Miguel Locks in the Panama Canal, this name has left an indelible mark on various aspects of our world. In 1485, Pedro de Alvarado was born, destined to become a renowned Spanish conquistador who played a significant role in the conquest of Central America. His exploits and adventures shaped history as we know it. Fast forward to modern times, and we find ourselves at Pedro Miguel Locks in the Panama Canal.
