Panama Casco Antiguo “El Barón Rojo” (The Red Baron) is a small café at Calle 4ta and Avenida A, next to Arco Properties.   Brand new spot, so you won`t see the sign out yet! but you`ll see the chairs outside.  Their specialty: wonderful breakfasts which they serve starting at 7 a.m. and don´t stop until 3 p.m. So far we`ve tried the granola with fruit and yogurt which is served in a very generous bowl and the pineapple juice was in one of those high 1 pint glasses you (well, not sure if “you” but any Panamanian) would link to … Continue reading →

Casco Viejo, Never a Dull Moment!

Posted in Casco Antiguo, Casco Viejo on September 16, 2011 Tagged | Comments Off on Casco Viejo, Never a Dull Moment!

What is a normal day in Casco Viejo? Still undefined, but I would probably say is one packed with small unusual stuff, little happenings here and there that makes every day a “never a dull moment” life in this eclectic neighborhood.   From the absurd to the common, from people filming in the streets for an independent movie (dressed up as who knows what and just walking around) to kids playing “vintage” games like jumping on each other like frogs in the street (or should I say “forgotten games”?). A neighborhood for the adventurous, artistic soul, Casco Viejo wakes up every … Continue reading →
