Tätä ei kannata jättää väliin
Tuesday morning "Gringo" market
A Boquete tradition, this lively market is as much an event to socialize as it is to shop. You will find expats and Panamanians selling souvenirs, jewelry, prepared foods, locally grown produce, essential oils, coffee, honey, etc. There are also BCP Community Chats at the library in English every Thursday with interesting topics for expats or those considering Panama as a potential home.
