Country Retirement Report for Chile
“A sleepy seaside city a generation ago, today La Serena, northern Chile’s ‘serene one,’ is one of the country’s most popular beach resorts,” writes Lauren Stanley.As Lauren reports, La Serena has more character than your average beach town: “In the heart of downtown, most shopping is done at department stores and specialty shops. Semi-pedestrian streets like Prat and O’Higgins are lined with upscale wine stores, clothing boutiques, and shoe emporia. Trendy cafés and restaurants abound, and the streets are so clean you can practically eat off them.”
