Highlights of the year: Latin America
Highlights from Latin America in 2012, including stories from Cuba, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru. Presented by Pascale Harter.
From Our Own Correspondent’s tour of the highlights of the year continues in Latin America.
We find out why Cubans go crazy for crazy names, and get sentimental over a changing shopping district in Mexico City.
Also in the programme, Linda Pressly follows the grim trail of Eva Peron’s corpse, and Henry Nicholls meets the Ecuadorians mourning the death of tortoise Lonesome George.
And we stop off in Peru to hear about the debate over cats – beloved pets, or tasty treats?
