Culinary Tourism in Panama: For the Love of Farmers´ Markets 
There is an almost romantic relationship between a cook and the food markets. It is an idyllic, prolific desire to find the veggies, fish, seafood, meats and other ingredients in their most natural environment. We want to talk to them.
Since having a vegetable garden, or raising a few cows in our backyard is not always a choice, we chose to visit the farmers markets, dairy farms so we can have the freshest produce, milk and meats from animals which have been grass feed and raised humanely.
Farmers markets are a traditional method used by farmers worldwide to sell their produce directly to consumers. By avoiding the increasingly industrialized food production, and the broker fees involved in the process of selling those products in supermarkets, the consumer gets the freshest ingredients at excellent prices.
This time we are sharing some photos we took a few weeks ago, while taking a group of visitors in a tour of Panama City’s markets. We had so much fun!

Turismo Gastronómico en Panamá: El Renovado Mercado del Marisco (EN/ES)
Hace poco visitamos el recien renovado Mercado del Marisco en la Ciudad de Panamá, y aquí compartimos unas vistas para que se animen a visitarlo. Esta es una de las paradas obligatorias en los tours culinarios en la ciudad, ya que es maravilloso ver la interacción de la naturaleza-pescadores-restaurantes que preparan la comida fresquita para la venta. Igualmente fresca es la oferta de pescados y mariscos recien pescados, y a buen precio para llevarse a casa.
