Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – I have been a full-time resident of Puerto Vallarta for nearly twenty-five years, almost half my life! Although I work full time, I have tried to take advantage of vacation time and long weekends to try and explore other parts of this beautiful country that I call home. Puerto Vallarta is ideally located as a jumping-off point to discover other parts of Mexico. We have all major luxury bus lines at our disposal and finally, some new options for domestic flights that will not break the bank.

Mexico City is magical – one of the largest cities in the world, it is a meeting place of old and new cultures, a hub of activity, a culinary mecca and a stunning canvas upon which Mexico’s vibrant history is painted. It is extremely accessible, very safe and you will never run out of things to do. There are activities for every budget and enjoyment for every age.

I try and visit at least twice or three times a year. Continue reading →

Mothers Day

This week we can look forward to Mothers Day in Puerto Vallarta on Friday 10 May and I am reminded of a past Mothers Day when I was living in a Mexican neighbourhood and my neighbour decided to organise a mariachi band to serenade his wife in celebration of Mothers Day.

How sweet – and indeed it was a wonderful thing to do, but what time does Mothers Day start?  Yes, it is midnight and right on cue the band arrived on the street and starting playing.  And in true Mexican style the neighbours all around got out of their beds and sat on their balconies for the hour and a half of wonderful mexican music.

Let us all remember and celebrate our mothers this Friday. And if you are lucky enough to be in Puerto Vallarta, I hope you also celebrate with wonderful music, food and friends.

Springtime in Puerto Vallarta

1. Primavera means springtime in Spanish and you know it is spring in Puerto Vallarta when you see the amazing primavera trees blooming their distinctive brilliant yellow flowers. There is a pink varierty also called Amapas but it is the golden Primavera that stands out so significantly. This picture showing the road leading into the Molino de Agua entrance reflects the beauty that surrounds us here in Puerto Vallarta.

   The sun is shining, the air is warm and the madness of Easter has receded.  A prefect time to plan your mid year vacation south.  Contact us here at Vallarta Rental Listings for your accommodation requirements.
