From many years in the past, Panamá has been a transit area and a destination for many people; offering warm and open arms to whoever wanted to have the privilege of a better life and who would consider Panamá as an opportunity.  This began as early as the 15th century, with the transit of Spaniards from South America to Spain, who brought gold and all the wealth that the continent had to offer back to Spain.
 
Then, the Panamá Canal construction was a fantastic time for thousands and thousands of foreigners who came to work and eventually established themselves in this small country, creating the different ethnic groups we have in Panamá today.  This continued with the first hemispheric railroad and the "gold fever" in California, where people from all over were seeking  "the" opportunity of their lives, and found a unique way to travel to that opportunity.   In this way, Panamá was a great contributor, and still is today, offering a great path between the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean, through the Panamá Canal, for the benefit of the whole world.
 
In every step through generations, from the 15th century through the pirates burning the old Panamá city, the construction of the new one known today as the "Casco Viejo", through all the magnificent mega projects like the new metro, the "cinta costera", the hundreds of multinational corporations established in this country (mainly in Panamá Pacífico and the Colón Free Zone, one of the largest in the world), these things and others make Panamá the #1 destination for thousands of people who want to come for visit, who seek better opportunities or who simply seek a relaxing retirement.
 
Panamá has many picturesque towns, villages and cities for all tastes, in which thousands of expats have found their ideal place to live, surrounded by beautiful nature, and offering outstanding weather, mountains and beaches.  Among these areas is a place called Coronado that is specially attractive to visitors.
 
Coronado, Panama is an old town, situated about hour and a half from the city of Panamá.  At the beginning, Coronado was only a place used as second beach homes for Panamanians.  In the present, many foreigners have been attracted to Coronado, Panama because the many features around it, such as three modern malls, an emergency hospital, a beautiful hotel/resort, an amazing beach, restaurants everywhere, a nice expat community, a great equestrian international club, one of the oldest gulf clubs, all surrounded by so many towns like Chame, Gorgona, and San Carlos, that offer fresh fruits and vegetables in every corner at ridiculously low prices.
 
Coronado also offers you the opportunity to have your very own garden at home.  Coronado is a very safe and relaxing place, with single family homes or condo buildings, at all different prices and one for everyone according to his or her needs.  In addition, if you don't want to live inside Coronado proper, there are many areas surrounding, either mountain or beach.  All you need is to come to visit and compare it by yourself.
