Puerto Vallarta – ultimate romance destination
Searching for a different kind of destination for the next holiday? Think Puerto Vallarta.
Puerto Vallarta is only about 1,200 miles away but it could be another planet for its ability to transport visitors away from daily lives to moments of romance, adventure and pleasure. Perhaps more than any other nearby destination, the city combines the majesty of the old with the grandeur of the new, a fusion of the foreign with the familiar. Cobblestone streets lead into paved roads. Elegant Mexican restaurants operate down the block from McDonalds. Costco and WalMart compete with Mega and other Mexican chains.
The glowing lights of the city of Puerto Vallarta ring the curve of the Bay of Banderas like sparkling diamonds in a royal tiara. Waves gently lap the shore as cool breezes ruffle shirts and dresses of pedestrians on the Malecon, the broad walking pathway that hugs the shoreline through the heart of the downtown area. Strangely shaped statues decorate the pavement, competing with huge sand sculptures on the sand. These figures create a surreal sense, an exciting twist of reality to the moonlit scene.
Brightly colored displays during the day attract shoppers to boutiques, jewelry stores and art galleries. At night, music streams from the clubs where people party until late.
