But my favorite new tradition is the children`s carnival at Casco Viejo, which will start today at 2:30 p.m. in Santa Familia, 4th Street. Can´t wait to sack race and run holding a spoon in my mouth with a lime on top. Wait a minute… wasn´t that for children? hummm…

First office building in Casco Viejo: El Colegio
Panama, Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo, Real Estate, Offices For years, we`ve been faced with the same situation: young entrepreneurs desperately looking for office space in Casco Viejo, only to end up in an apartment or expensive ground floor commercial locale.

El Chorrillo City Tour: Panama`s history & Popular Culture
Panama Casco Viejo, Casco Antiguo A couple of weeks ago I joined Felix McFresh and his friend Alberto on an interesting city tour of Chorrillo. These two “chorrilleros” are passionate about their neighborhood and the special things that can only be found there as part of our historic and cultural heritage. Chorrillo is known today as a low income town, which has struggled all its life. While this might be so, it is also true that Chorrillo has an intimate connection with Panama`s history and that there is plenty of good stuff to see and learn. The neighborhood was known … Continue reading
