Gastronomic Summer in Puerto Vallarta: Seasonal Flavors and Culinary Experiences

Summer in Puerto Vallarta isn’t just about warm beaches and tropical sunsets. It’s also one of the most flavorful times of the year. While June to August is technically the low season for tourism, local chefs and restaurants take the opportunity to shine through limited-time menus, tasting events, cooking classes, and seasonal discounts that reward those who stay—or arrive—during the summer months.

Why Summer Is a Hidden Gem for Food Lovers

For North American travelers and expats who choose to explore Puerto Vallarta in summer, this means more opportunities to try local spots that are…

A Day in the Life: From Beach to Jungle in Puerto Vallarta

You wake to the sound of ocean waves. This sound acts as your alarm.

You drink coffee on your terrace. Pelicans glide over the Pacific. The sun climbs, and the humidity remains low - it is time to begin the day.

7:30 a.m. - A walk or a paddle?

On some days, you walk the Malecón. Other days, you take your board to Playa Los Muertos for a paddle at sunrise. The water stays calm. A few swimmers enter the water. Fishermen return with their catch. You have no need to rush. You do not visit. You live here.

9:00 a.m. - A morning meal with a breeze

You walk into a small café in Versalles or Emiliano Zapata. You know the waiter, and he knows your regular meal. Your email can wait. So can your daily tasks. The main choice of the morning is whether to…

Living in Puerto Vallarta: More Than a Vacation

A moment in Puerto Vallarta has difficulty in explanation until one lives it.
It can happen while walking along the Malecon with the ocean on the left and artwork on the right.
Or during a second cup of coffee, with observation of the neighborhood as it becomes active.

This is a town on a beach.
It is a place where life finds a pattern.

Mornings are slow. Lunches are long. Sunsets are even longer.
In most cities life involves speed.
It concerns space - mental space, physical space as well as space to breathe.

People walk. The reason is not because they have to, but because they want to.
You will leave the car, stroll to the café down the street, pick up mangos at the market next to chat with the barista who knows your name.

There is no hurry.
Only…

Puerto Vallarta Realty: What It Really Means to Buy and Sell Homes Here

Realty can sound a bit formal, like a term from an old advertisement. In Puerto Vallarta, it carries meaning. It signifies more than just listing homes and selling property.

Dealings involve family properties passed down…
