How is it living near Capira/Campana in Panama?

Question

A friend of mine has a house in a development near Capira/Campana in Panama which I may rent for a few months. Just wondering what there is to do in that area (beach, restaurants, bars, etc). Thanks!

Answer 1

There is not much to do there.  You are about 35 minutes (or more - depending on traffic) from Panama City.  You are about twenty minutes or less to Coronado and REY, the only super-market in the area.  

Coronado has a few restaurants with good food, but not more than three or four. You can go to the Coronado Country club, if you can get a pass.  

You will have the beach and that's it.  If you are friendly, hang out at the beach and strike up some friendships with others who are there.

A fridge full of beer and wine and fruit juice with Seco ("Say-CO" - the clear white rum) or Abuelo, the dark

rum, will help you make friends.  

So that's it.  I know, I drove by there today on my way back from Decameron, an all included resort that is about twenty minutes beyond Rey.

So bring a book.
