Town information
By reputation the second of Mexico's beach resorts, Puerto
Vallarta is smaller, quieter and younger than Acapulco. In its own
way it is actually every bit as commercial - perhaps more so, since here
tourism is virtually the only source of income - but appearances count
for much, and Puerto Vallarta, while doing all it can to catch up with
Acapulco, appears far less developed. Its hotels are scattered along
several miles of coast, the greatest concentration in Nuevo Vallarta,
north of the town and sliced through by an eight-lane strip of asphalt,
but there are no tall or obviously modern buildings in the center; and
the tropical village atmosphere, an asset assiduously exploited by the
local tourist authorities, does survive to a remarkable degree.
 Until 1954, Puerto Vallarta was a small fishing village; then
Mexicana airlines, their hand forced by Aeromexico's monopoly on
flights into Acapulco, started promoting the town as a resort. Their
efforts received a double shot in the arm when John Huston chose
Mismaloya, 10km south, as the setting for The Night of the Iguana,
and the star, Richard Burton, inflamed scandal-mongering in the
international press by having Elizabeth Taylor tag along.
The package tourists stay, on the whole, in the beachfront hotels
around the bay, but are increasingly penetrating the town centre to shop
in the pricey boutiques and malls, and to eat in the some of the very
good restaurants downtown.
Nevertheless, what could be a depressingly expensive place to visit
turns out to be liberally peppered with good-value hotels and budget
restaurants, especially during the low season (Aug-Nov).
Apart from the beaches and tourist shops, there is not a lot to do in
Puerto Vallarta; certainly nothing in the way of sights or architecture.
You could fill an hour or two, though, wandering around the area between
the two plazas and on the island in the river.
