What to do in PV!
What to do in magical Puerto Vallarta!
El Malecon is our beachside boardwalk and the No.1 attraction in the centre of historic Puerto Vallarta, and less than 10 minute walk from Casa Bella Vista! It's a magical place to be, stretching about 11 blocks with free walking tours, artists, tequila tasting, souvenir shops & the famous Palo Volador by day and street musicians, vibrant bars, clubs & fireworks by night. The colors, the sounds, and aromas, all caste their spell and you can end up just walking around for hours snapping pics, enjoying many tasty flavours from breakfast to late dining or maybe a freshly squeezed juice, icy cold Corona or perhaps a slushy Margarita or two!

It's a few blocks down the hill from Casa Bella Vista and is awarded the Blue Flag certification, an award given to beaches that are clean, have low levels of pollution (strict standards), offer environmental protection and that have managed to balance human presence without compromising the ecosystem.
