Looking farther to the East side of the point, one sees the flow of the Casco Viejo district. The two towers are of the Cathedral on Independence Square. The breakwater continues around left to the North, with buildings lining the old harbor area. The little park, with the flowering tree and the huge shade tree are quite pretty and peaceful. This could be a scene from anywhere in Mediterranean Europe or Portugal. The Casco area is really pleasant and the highlight for me of Panama City.

Just to the left of this picture is where the still-impoverished 'barrio' area begins and runs for many blocks. One wouldn't want to mistakenly stroll that way at night.
