The last feminine myth in the movies died the morning of Wednesday March 23th. At 79 years old, leaving behind a full life of work, glamour and excess. She and Richard Burton were the detonators of the tourist development of Puerto Vallarta, when they exposed this little town, and took refuge to live their romance. The year 1963 was running when in Mismaloya Beach started the filming of the movie “The Night of the Iguana” directed by... 

During 1,000 years in Western Mexico the agricultural towns distinguished themselves by their magic and mysterious burials.  They were known for their tombs (tumbas de tiro) and their influence is found in the states of Nayarit, Colima, Jalisco, Michoacan and Zacatecas.  During this long time, they exchanged activities with other cultures.  From what we know today, they navigated the coasts all the way to Colombia, Peru and  Ecuador. This time... 

A MANERA DE INTROITO En mas de alguna ocasión –durante el largo término que estuvo fuera del presupuesto y que fue cuando realmente nació, creció y murió nuestra relación amistosa- tozuda y machaconamente  insistí a Don Gilberto Flores Muñoz para que escribiera sus memorias personales y políticas; ..”” Mire don Gil, -le argumentaba- Ud., carece de todo derecho para guardar en su ronco pecho lo que le dijo y lo que no le dijo Ruiz... 

Do I Need to Stage My Home? This is a common question asked of me by a great number of prospective clients who have heard about home staging, but really do not completely understand the concept or fully appreciate its many benefits. As a designer working in the property sector in several regards, I can honestly see both sides of the argument for and against home staging, particularly in this incredibly tough real estate market. However, when studied... 

The program “Magic Towns” was launched in 2001 by the Tourism Department of Mexico. Its objective has been to impulse tourism to visit typical villages and small Mexican towns where the particular, traditional and typically Mexican style of life has been kept alive by its people. Various villages, towns and their surrounding areas throughout all of Mexico have been called a “Magic Town” because of the strong indigenous influence, the great... 

Very near Puerto Vallarta, to 145 miles north, in the state of Nayarit, is located the island of Mexcaltitan. Built on an islet in the middle of the lagoon of the same name,this town is just 400 meters long and 350 wide. Arriving by land from Santiago Ixcuintla, Mexcaltitán seems to float on the water, and at the time when the San Perdo’s river grows , it gives the impression of being buried beneath the  water. This is why its sidewalks are so... 

It is no coincidence that the four small hills at the feet of the Vallejo Mountains right in front of the immense Banderas Valley, next to two huge embankments surrounded by water drippings are perfectly aligned from north to south. No, it cannot be a simple whim of nature. Jose Beltran stands on the very top of the northern most hill and allows his gaze to lose itself in the horizon. At this beautiful site he sees all of Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo... 

Submerging in the waters of the Pacific Ocean is always spectacular, but to do it in front of the doorway shaped rocks that raise themselves a few feet over the ocean on the south coast of Puerto Vallarta, is an experience to be repeated over and over again say those whom have done it, for they never tire of it. Los Arcos (The Arches) is a natural preserve closer to Mismaloya than it is to Puerto Vallarta. It is formed by a group of islets covered... 

The Gallery at the Malecon of P. V. Juan walks slowly and in awe on the Puerto Vallarta Malecon. It is his first time at this destiny and is surprised at seeing “so much art at the side of the ocean”. He counts the sculptures, examines them, he likes some and dislikes others. Of something he is sure, he prefers to dislike some of them rather than just find “statues of heroes that no one believes in” even if they are very well made. But not... 

Josh simply can’t picture his life away from sport fishing, which is not only his passion, but also his job. Born with the hook in between his hands, today he devotes himself to the sport fishing industry, and he certainly knows how to deal with truly big fish: his business is to find the best locations in the world for this activity, and then attract celebrities and high-end clients that want to use his fleet and his services. “This isn’t...
