Casco Viejo, Panama


http://www.cascoviejo.info Panama City has been for 7 years in the top 5 places for retirement in the world according to International Living Magazine. Casco Viejo is the oldest city on the Pacific Coast of the Americas, and lies at the foot of the Panama Canal on one side and Panama City on the other. Nowadays, Casco Viejo is acknowledged as the city's most recognizable suburb, located in the district of San Felipe. While this historic community has lost it's economic importance with the expansion of Panama City, Casco Viejo continues to appear in songs, poems, videos, television commercials, and other elements of the city's daily life. Moreover, the area now serves as one of the country's most popular tourist attractions, frequented by tourist guides and photographers alike. The architecture is a combination of ruins from the days of Spanish Explorers and Pirates, and French Colonial from the first attempt made on the Panama Canal by the French. To walk through Casco Viejo is definitely to walk through history. Buildings sitting side by side can be over three hundred years apart in age. Balconies are filled with flowers such as geraniums and bougainvillea wrapped around sculpted wrought iron crafted in another century, The streets are brick, and no matter which way they run, they run to the sea, because Casco Viejo is surrounded by sea.

Espero que tenga el orgullo necesario para promover un proyecto de urbanizacion para toda la parte de el Chorrillo, San Miguel y Santa Ana...Ya es tiempo que la Sociedad Panamena de Ingenieros y Arquitectos se saque la cabeza de el trazero y se ponga a trabajar por Panama....

Casco Viejo (or Casco Antiguo) is Panama´s most authentic spot. It´s being revitalized slowly but steadily, so it is an interesting real estate market. But moreover, it is a fantastic place to live. It is my home. If you have any questions about nightlife, hotels, restaurants, let me know!

Casco Viejo is a beautiful and up-and-coming part of Panama City, and is its historic "old city" district as well. Very hot real estate market - and I like this clip a lot. Makes me feel like I was back there instead of in the cold New York winter :).
