In Edificio Zahav, El Cangrejo, this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment has a very spacious 210m2 total area. This large apartment situated on Via Argentina in El Cangrejo, just in front of HSBC Bank.

The apartment is surrounded by local shops, restaurants and all necessary amenities, with an excellent local park. The apartment has a large balcony and has split air-conditioner units in the bedrooms.

El Cangrejo was at one time Panama's main Jewish neighborhood. The principal reminders of those times are the Einstein head sculpture and a nearby street named Via de los Combatientes del Gheto de Varsovia. Most of its Jewish population has now migrated to other parts of Panama City.

There are bigger supermarkets around, but this neighbourhood also has a diversity of specialist stores and a plethora of international restaurants and cuisine. Angels, Ludwig’s, El Pomodoro, Pangea, El Trapiche, as well as a host of cafes and patisseries - all add to Via Argentina's reputation as one of the Capital's main restaurant districts.

And it’s not only restaurants that you will find here. El Cangrejo is one of Panama City's most up-market and cosmopolitan suburbs, home to many hotels, bars and casinos galore – including the notable Veneto Hotel Casino and even more locally popular Fiesta Casino in Hotel El Panama. There are also many specialty, souvenir and luxury shops around.

For a different type of experience, there is little to beat Iglesia del Carmen on the corner of Frederico Boyd and Via Espana. This beautiful cathedral doesn't have the history of the cathedrals in Casco Viejo, but it is worth visiting to see the gorgeous stained-glass windows and the beautiful mosaic behind the main altar.
