Playa el Rompio
Playa el Rompio is a small fishing village in the Bay of Parita, on the Pacific coast, in the Province of Los Santos. Most of the time life here is very quiet. It becomes its’ liveliest on Sundays when families and friends gather to share a meal, and relax after a busy week. That’s when fishermen gather at Augusto’s Jardin to drink ice-cold beers at 50 cents a bottle, and young folks ride four-wheelers back and forth along the beach. It’s a small place with not much room for real estate development on a grand scale. Norwould medium to large-scale development particularly harmonize with the vibe.
Aside from Sunday activities, we have the place to ourselves. The fishermen go out early as the sun rises, and return around noontime. Order a day or two before you need it and the seas bounty can be available to you. Calamari, red and white snapper, shrimp (camarones), squid; there is world-class fishing within an hour’s drive.
Major supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, and entertainment are found in and around Chitre (see Resources), a twenty-minute drive away. El Rompio had a growth spurt 20 years ago when professionals from Chitre began building weekend homes. The beachfront has slowly filled in with small cottages and ranchos, there are two restaurants (Nery’s and Augusto’s) and a mini-mini produce store run by Luisito’s. It’s a small place with not much room for real estate development on a grand scale. Think small-scale and you got a fix on us. The largest real estate project under construction in the village will have 68 condo units when it’s completed.
It’s nice to live here, there are settlers from the U.S., Canada, and France. We socialize sometime and leave each other alone most of the time. That’s my concept of heaven, no?
We have a few listing for you to consider.
Hope to see you soon.
