Strolling the Puerto Vallarta Malecón
The lively Malecón promenade in Puerto Vallarta stretches along the Bay of Banderas, framed by rows of palms, open-air cafés, and small artisan stands shaded by red umbrellas. Visitors walk the cobblestone walkway past shops like Casa Mina and La Chata, where colorful papel picado flags flutter above the outdoor seating. In the distance, high-rise hotels mark the city’s modern skyline, while the older seafront retains the intimate, walkable character that has made this coastal destination one of Mexico’s most beloved beach towns.
