A quiet cobblestone street winds through the historic center of San Sebastián del Oeste, a mountain town tucked into the Sierra Madre Occidental of Jalisco. The preserved adobe houses, painted in the traditional red-and-white palette with tiled roofs, evoke its 17th-century mining heritage.

A small village pharmacy and convenience shop in San Sebastián del Oeste, Jalisco, displays everyday items from candy and cookies to basic clothing under hand-painted signs and Christmas garlands. The dual storefront—Farmacia Gretel and Tienda de Ropa Ingrith—reflects the multipurpose nature of businesses in this mountain town, where colonial-era buildings with thick adobe walls still house family-run enterprises.

The densely layered hillsides of Puerto Vallarta rise above Playa de los Muertos, one of the city’s most iconic and active beachfronts. The shoreline is packed with rows of umbrellas and sunbathers, backed by mid-century and modern resort towers stacked against the green slopes of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Fishermen, swimmers, and jet-ski riders share the bay, while pelicans glide overhead. The neighborhood of Zona Romántica just inland mixes narrow cobblestone streets with lively bars and cafes, making this stretch of the Bahía de Banderas one of Mexico’s most photographed coastal skylines and a focal point of everyday life for both locals and visitors.

A coin-operated public payphone marked “Monedas 090” stands on a cobblestone street in central Puerto Vallarta, a reminder of the pre-digital era still visible in everyday urban life. Behind it, a mix of aging vehicles, small storefronts, and whitewashed buildings with red-tiled roofs reflect the city’s blend of local tradition and evolving modernity. These relics of analog communication, though seldom used today, remain scattered across Mexico’s towns and resort cities — quiet artifacts of an infrastructure that once connected travelers and locals alike.

A new fleet of electric bicycles for the Puerto Vallarta municipal police stands ready for deployment, each bearing the city’s emblem and markings for the Policía Turística. These fat-tire e-bikes, still wrapped in protective film, are part of an initiative to increase patrol mobility along the Malecón, beaches, and narrow city streets. The compact, battery-powered design enables officers to respond quickly through the resort’s bustling pedestrian areas while reducing emissions and traffic congestion along the bayfront.

A narrow street in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romántica angles upward toward the city’s steep green hills, where a red-and-white radio tower crowns a weathered building labeled Restaurante El Panorama. The scene captures the city’s layered verticality—low stucco terraces with clay roofs in the foreground give way to midcentury apartment towers clinging to the slopes.
