City and country

Part of the affluent end of the Panama lifestyle is having a place in the city and another in the country. A lot of middle class retirees who can't afford such a thing in North America or Europe can trade their homes in those places in and get two places plus change here.

Both in the city and in rural Panama there are wide varieties of living options to choose among, according to one's tastes and budget.
