Panama Art. The Dance Festival finally inaugurates featuring seasoned troupes from France, Colombia .... and Casco Viejo! Greyskull Castle opens it´s doors to the secret life of pandilleros, or maybe giving us a mirror where to recognize our own culture.

Green Panama: Here is an exciting project on the move: transforming Casco Antiguo into an organic garden. Our friend and organic specialist Spencer is already working on it, and I have to say it´s fascinating.

Panama Dance Fest. Don´t miss it... Plaza Herrera, 7:30 p.m. Saw the troupe practicing yesterday, I would say is not for the faint of heart! No se lo pierdan, Plaza Herrera, 7:30 p.m. Vi a los bailarines practicando ayer, diría que no es apto para cardiacos!

Panama Art. Known as La Reformada back in 1917 - 21, this building was the masterpiece of Arquitect Leonardo Villanueva Meyer. The first "skycraper" of Panama (5 floors!) When the area decayed, it became the home of a dangerous gang. Today, with the area clear and hopefully a renovation plan coming up, La Casona proposes an interesting art show about the testimonials left on the walls by the gang on how their lives and hopes where. Don´t miss it!

Panama, Casco Antiguo. Almost all the angels will be in place today. Find out where!

Christmas is here! A group of international and panamanian artists will be exposing their angels throughout the Casco. Again, don´t miss the big banner on the Dance Festival, from the 10 to the 16th!

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.
