Two of Costa Rica’s cities /towns are listed among the best retirement places in Central America
First, I’d like to point out that Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Merida, Mexico made the list but they are not in Central America, because Mexico is considered part of North America. Obviously, the writer from Yahoo News needs to brush up on his geography.
Corozal, Belize and Coronado, Panama also made the list in the article .
San José, Costa Rica’s capital city, as well as Tamarindo on the Northern Pacific coast were also included. Regarding the latter, Tamarindo is so Americanized that it is sometimes referred to as “Tamagringo.”
I would like to point out that there many other places in Costa Rica to check out for retirement. On the Pacific Ocean side there are: Nosara, Sámara, Jacó, Quepos, Dominical and Uvita to the south.
San Isidro, located 40 minutes in land from Dominical, is also worth visiting when looking for a place to settle.
In the Central Valley the following places are popular with retirees: Heredia, Alajuela, Santa Ana, Atenas, Grecia and San Ramón, to name a few.
Costa Rica has more choices for retired expats looking for a high quality lifestyle.
