I’m wondering if anyone has any advice about real estate hotspots in Panama for 2010?

These days the interior of the country is finding its niche in terms of commercial activity, anmely the areas along the highway running from Boquete in the Chiriquí province to the center of the city David near the Pacific coast.  On top of that, the central avenue of Penonomé in the province of Coclé, Las Tablas in Los Santos, and Santiago in Veraguas are also reporting solid increases in commercial activity.  The President of Veraguas’ Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, David Virzi has recently said his province was “doing great”, while Rigoberto Vergara, who heads the Las Tablas Chamber of Commerce in the Los Santos region, said commercial activity is going steady, especially in the area of Pedasí, where a number of residential tourism projects are still under construction.

I know there is an airport there, are there regular flights running to the big city?

Starting February 5th 2010, Aeroperlas Regional will begin operating two flights a week from Panama City’s Marcos A. Gelabert Airport (Albrook airport)  to Pedasí.  The flight is 55 minutes long, and departs at 11:15 Mondays and Fridays.

Where are the best surf breaks on the Azuero Peninsula?

My buddies and I are headed to Los Santos to surf and would appreciate any recommendations.

The Los Santos province definitely has some of the better breaks in the country.  One break in particular, Playa Venao (also spelled Venado) even played host to the 2008 Central American Surf Championship.  Venao’s clean A-frame peaks have drawn comparison to Black’s Beach in Southern California.  It’s a 3-mile beach break with numerous peaks, so even if it’s crowded—for Venao, 2 dozen surfers is considered crowded —it’ll feel like California in the ‘60s.  When conditions are overhead plus, it can close-out; this usually just means the nearby breaks are perfect.  So, I’d recommend going to Venado, which favors high-tide and dropping, and some of the other beaches around there.  Nearby is the rock bottom point break of Playa El Toro in Pedasí and Playa Lagarto, a pretty consistent beach break.  Venao’s only about a 20-minute drive from Pedasí toward Cambutal, so it’s pretty easy to get a fun session in at each of the breaks in single day.  There are a several other breaks around: just ask around.
