Puerto Vallarta Malecón
20° 36.6′ N · 105° 14.1′ W
Puerto Vallarta's seafront promenade, first built in 1936 and stretching more than twelve blocks through Centro, lined with bronze sculptures, restaurants and street performers, with the Los Arcos amphitheatre and the crown of the Guadalupe church just behind.
Practical
Coordinate is an OSM way segment of the Malecón in Centro. Free shows and folk dance at the Los Arcos amphitheatre (its stone arches were destroyed by Hurricane Kenna in 2002 and rebuilt). Galería Pacífico sponsors a weekly public-sculpture walking tour from the Malecón on Tuesdays, November to April (Wikivoyage). Humpbacks are often visible from the Malecón in January and February. Reach it by 'Centro' bus from Marina Vallarta (about 20 to 30 minutes) or by taxi.
