 Church of Guadalupe by jamiesno
Construction began in 1918 and was completed in 1951. The gilded crown that tops the beautiful church is a replica of the crown worn by Carlota, empress of Mexico in the 1860s, the base of which is decorated with eight angels holding hands.
The original crown was made of concrete and was unfortunately damaged in the 1995 earthquake, but has since been replaced by one done by the famous sculpture Octavio Gonzales.
You can see from my picture that the church is a beautiful structure. Leave a Comment

After doing some shopping at the Río Cuale Flea Market, we started walking along the street and found a place called Yin-Yang Professional Massage. Didn't seem like much outside, but once inside, you could feel calmness take over. I didn't need a massage, but LJ did, so I went across the street to the internet cafe.
1 1/2 hours later, LJ said that she had the best massage ever, and it only cost $30 (USD)...where else are you going to get an awesome massage for that price (certainly not on the cruise ship). They specialize in aromatherapy, shiatsu, reflexology, facials, sea salt body scrubs, mud treatments, manicures & pedicures.

Downtown there is a sort of flea market, new items though. A combination gift shop/mall that stretches for blocks behind the store fronts. So much fun! Be prepared to barter. Prices are flexible, depending on what you negotiate. As you go further into the market, prices get lower. Lots of pottery, sarongss, sombreros, hand crafts etc. A wonderful experience!

Upon arrival we take the bus to the hotel, check in, and then walk directly to hotel Los Cuatro Vientos for a sunset cocktail at their roof top bar El Nido.
The view, atmosphere, and gentle breeze...and this is all before the sun sinks into the Pacific...will create an immediate and lasting love affair with PV. By the time you leave El Nido you wil likely be planning your next trip to PV.
After El Nido walk directly to El Palomar for the seafood platter.
If you do the traditional El Nido + El Palomar first night in PV you could do nothing else for the rest of your trip and still consider it a great success and experience.

Whether or not this is true, Guadalupe Cathedral is one of the most photographed churches in Mexico. An English-language mass is held every Sunday (10:00 a.m.). Shorts and sleeveless T-shirts are prohibited inside the church.

the downtown open market is a very exhilarating experience in itself, but you can get worn out quickly by all of the fast-paced activity, so don't stay long on your first visit there. many of the little stalls in other shopping clusters downtown are also quite reasonable. the smaller shops are usually not quite so hectic.

If you take the time to walk up the hill past all the stores, traffic and bars, there is a oasis of gorgeous mexican hill houses. Quiet and safe walk with great windows and doors. Directions: About 6 to 8 blocks above downtown.

The older downtown of Puerto Vallarta is one of the best places to see real Mexico.
Its not a bunch of overpriced tourist hotels.
I like staying near the older part of town instead of out by Nuevo Vallarta because I like experiencing the culture a little bit.
You can get some good deals in the stores in the downtown area. Leave a Comment
