Until the 1960s, Puerto Vallarta was a quiet fishing village next to the Banderas Bay on the Mexican Pacific coast. Hollywood changed it. In 1963, Elizabeth Taylor tagged the filming of 'Iguana night' with Richard Burton. Paparazzi Lille and the resulting movie introduced the beautiful beaches and landscapes of Puerto Vallarta. A new star was born. Today, Puerto Vallarta is the second most popular beach tourism city in Mexico, with resorts that follow the limits of the city and beaches beyond the state boundaries. Do not let the sprawl discourage you - the PV still keeps the atmosphere of a quiet and clean little town.
While the beach is the largest draw, visits to Puerto Vallarta will not have been completed without visiting her downtown area. The bus will have a stop close to most resorts and can be carried down to downtown cheaply (not always uncomfortable). The employer and the residents keep the stone-covered street clean. Watching downtown is easy to walk. The most fascinating part of downtown is Our Lady Guadeloupe of the Cathedral. Because the original broke in the 1995 earthquake, glass fiber tiara is decorated. Most of the luxury goods specialty store is near the cathedral.
It is a must-see to explore Malecon which is a sidewalk along the bay. You are walking a few sculptures. The most important thing is the boy riding in Chicago. It is a symbol of Puerto Vallarta. In 2002, Hurricane Kena suffered major damage after being damaged. At the west end of Malecon is the mouth of Rio Cuale. By walking up some blocks you can find a huge market that sells handicrafts like food, hat, blankets and so on. Please try your Spanish and help a handmade souvenir. There is also a small Rio Kran Island archeological museum in this area. Relics of Hispanic residents in this area are displayed.
