Panama Real Estate Summer Investments: December is one of the most pleasant months in Panama. It also means January is right around the corner, the dry season is coming, which means huge productivity in construction for all the projects.

This is by far one of my favorite initiatives of OCA (Oficina del Casco Antiguo). The flea market has grown little by little, becoming a great place to buy interesting stuff.  Don´t miss it!!!! you can get unique gifts at a good price.

Esta es una de las iniciativas que más me han gustado de la OCA (Oficina del Casco Antiguo).  El Mercado de Pulgas de Casco Antiguo comenzó como algo pequeño. Hoy día es un excelente sitio para encontrar cosas interesantes de Panamá o en general. No te lo pierdas! regalos únicos a buenos precios...

Investing in Real Estate in Panama. I often comment on my clients that Casco Antiguo is like Woody Allen: either you hate it or you love it, there is no "in between". It is definatly not for everyone. For the right person, it is very easy to fall in love with it on their first visit. They get the same feeling as a kid walking into a store with tons of candy, wide smile on their faces, dreams about their restored home. But... hey! wake up! it takes some serious work and personal honesty to go further this point and succeed.

Dance Festival in Casco Antiguo from December 12th to the 16th. The Casco continues to celebrate it´s 10th anniversary as World Heritage Site with all sorts of activities, from sculpture show to vertical performance. Check out the schedule and where to get more info...

One of the things I enjoy the most of living here is the fact that "going out" is as easy as walking to my favorite restaurant or bar. Somehow I realized there is no guide with all the contacts of Restaurants, Bars and other businesses in the Casco, so here it goes!

November has arrived, Panama´s holiday month. A good time to relax and meditate about the beginnings of our country and what makes it and us so special. The answer might be really simple, but powerful...

  Up until now, the two only options to stay in Casco Antiguo where: a) backpacking b) staying in a private apartment. Now you can have your own mansion! A true tropical oasis for those looking for a sophisticated, intimate experience. The Canal House has opened it´s doors! Go check it out at: http://www.canalhousepanama.com  If you are planning to visit Panama soon (for work or not) this place is a must. It`s the type of place where, if you are comming for business and need to entertain people, they can arrange a private chef to organize your cocktail. And if you are traveling for pleasure, this is the perfect place to impress your "better half"!  Check out some great reviews at: http://www.interpanama.com/en/news/103/

Finally, Hotel Central at the heart of Casco Antiguo has started restoration. The site looks like a war zone right now, but just like plastic surgery, it always looks bad before looking really good. Hotels are the key to Casco Antiguo. They create a center of gravity that the neighborhood needs in order to develop commercial life and reinforce value. Now imagine this: not only one but four sites are about to develop within the next 5 years. Can´t think of a better place or time to invest or live in the Casco!
