Living in the Las Palmas Community

Sunday, February 17

For the month of February, we are living in a rented condo in Playas del Coco. This condo is situated in a large development which is almost a village within the larger town of El Coco. It is a community unto itself, named Playas de las Palmas. The entrance sign calls it an "urbanizacion".

As you enter the development, past the sign and the guard tower behind it, you would find two small commercial centers, or pueblitos. One the left is a large white building called Pueblito Norte. This building is set up like a mini strip mall. Here you will find a small grocery store, Luperon - a scaled-down version of another larger Luperon in town along the main drag. Also here there is a small wifi hotspot - the Java Cafe - and a few offices for realtors, management companies, and the private security force, Jocimes.
