Old Town Puerto Vallarta is historic and charming. It’s famous for the River Cuale and Gringo Gulch. The south side (also called the Romantic Zone or Viejo Vallarta) is steps away from world-class restaurants, bars, quaint shops, art galleries, the flea market and beaches. The Malecon Boardwalk should not be missed. The Plaza is also delightful and Los Muertos Beach (whose sand, surf and palapas stretch for over a mile south of the Cuale River) is only a 15-minute walk from almost anywhere. Old town is a beautiful place for strolling along with it’s classical Spanish architecture, whitewashed buildings and cobblestone streets. Wonderful food, sunsets, and warm ocean breezes make evenings unforgettable.
