Yesterday we went on another trip - booked
with a local firm who supplied us with a car & driver. We wanted to
go to the mountains & beaches on the Pacific coast nearer to Panama
City.

So how does Panama measure up as a destination for Location Independent Professionals?
After some extensive research and narrowing down our options it became the first place on our list to try.

The second furnished apartment we stayed in in Panama, we rented from Pattys Casitas.

Patty & Rudy are a very interesting, well-travelled couple who originally ran a B&B in Rome but have now moved back to Panama (Rudy is half Panamanian) to run a B&B and rent out furnished properties.
They currently on have one in Amador but apparently have plans for at least one more apartment in a very nice part of town. We rented their apartment in Amador for 1 month.
Here’s our review…

El Valle is about a 2 hour drive from the city and sits in the
valley created by a dormant volcano. The climate there is slightly
cooler than in the lowlands - and is more like a perpetual spring time.
It does get hot in the day but cools down at night so that apparently
you can have a log fire.
El Valle de Anton itself is a pretty small town but it has a local
handicrafts market which also sells fruit, veg and plants. It’s popular
with Panamanians who make a trip from the city at weekends…
It’s
a lovely little place. The climate did indeed "feel" fresher and we
actually got rained on whilst we were walking round the small zoo.
The market was nice - not especially big - but it’s a very nice
weekend place and some of the houses were gorgeous. Lots of colourful
flowers & hedgerows and it reminded me a bit of Austria or
Switzerland.

A local breakfast in Panama
Posted by

Empanadas are the breakfast of choice in Panama. They’re little pastry-type dumplings typically stuffed with meat - usually beef but sometimes chicken.
Personally, they’re not my first choice for breakfast and I’d much rather eat them as a snack later in the day.
