Whether you drive the 437km to Las Lajas from Panama City, or the 75km from David, there's always a feeling of homecoming when you turn off the PanAmerican Highway and see the "Bienvenidos a Las Lajas" sign straddling the road to the beach.As you can see, the road is in excellent condition. This is the case all the way to Playa Las Lajas. The last two kilometres to our development are still rough - but in time we'll have a good road.
The township of Las Lajas is the closest residential area to us. It's a prosperous community which has recently installed several very neat bus shelters.
The day I took the pictures, the dog you see to the left of one of them was feeling very threatened by the dolphin statue at the front. Each shelter is different. The slogan on this one means "Las Lajas, Mountain, Sea, Sky and You." All the murals were hand painted. The store behind it is a local bakery. There is a good general grocery store in Las Lajas where you can buy pretty well anything you want, although we prefer to buy our meat in the supermarkets in David, which are world-class.
