@Taller, Better: we will wait to see those photos

***Taller, Better*** · April 6th, 2010, 07:11 PM

Ok, finally got my recent holiday snaps from Puerto Vallarta organized! I'll post them in batches. I took two cameras.. one big, and one small point and shoot, so to make life easier will just post them one after the other. Hope you enjoy my little tour as much as I enjoyed beautiful PV! We went at the beginning of March, so I'll start with some photos at the Toronto airport taken waiting for our flight:

Then it's up up, and awaaaaaayyyyy!!!

After a four and three quarter hour flight, we finally arrive at our destination!

Puerto Vallarta is such a picturesque little city that it is easy to snap photos all
day long!

***Taller, Better*** · April 6th, 2010, 07:12 PM

the view from our hotel:

a bakery that I once or twice popped into for a morning pastry....

With daily temps around 30c, it felt hot to this northern fella; thus I had to cool down
with the odd ice cold cerveza!!!

Lot's of souvenirs everywhere to choose from:

the exchange rate this time was better than any other time I had visited. It would be even better today as our dollar is now at par with the American greenback:

!

***Taller, Better*** · April 6th, 2010, 07:13 PM

La Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe:

if we follow these steps down to the pleasantly cool riverbank, we find an interesting artist's colony:

then back up to the town:

these lively advertising trucks are not uncommon!

***Taller, Better*** · April 6th, 2010, 07:13 PM

then we go for a stroll along the Malecon, which is a handsome avenue following the
beach:

Beautiful sand sculptures are always there:

I never thought I would see La Pieta in sand!!

I spot a Canadian bank, so I feel at home!

I enjoyed this acrobatic display!

***Taller, Better*** · April 6th, 2010, 07:13 PM

then, it was time to turn around, cross the bridge and head back to the hotel:

an old lady is blowing bubbles:

and she flashed a huge smile at me photographing them!!

Our hotel is on Banderas Bay, near the Los Muertos pier:

the pool areas are nice, but I am not one to sit about a pool for very long:

I'd rather get out on the beach!!

Well, that is plenty of photos for now.... I'll save some to post later today or tomorrow!

Beutifull I love PV, Romantic zona has a lot of charm

DeNeza401 · April 7th, 2010, 11:06 AM

Nice I like it very much.

***xzmattzx*** · April 8th, 2010, 04:38 AM

Nice pictures. It's good that you went exploring in the regular town. Does Puerto Vallarta have a "separate" hotel district, like other Mexican areas? Or, are the hotels a little more mixed into the city or neighborhoods?

Both, there are separate hotel districts (zona Norte, Marina) and the one you see on pictures that is known as romantic zone or olas altas, that is very close to downtown, also north of the city there are new fancy hotel areas as Nuevo Vallarta, Punta Mita, etc

Nice think about Vallarta that make it different to any other turistic destination in Mexico is that Puerto Vallarta town was a beutifull traditional mexican town before it was famous, was not build and develop for turism as Cancun, Ixtapa or Los Cabos
