Puerto Vallarta: Not Your Father's Malecon Ruth Day - Good News
go to original June 25, 2016

If you haven't been to Puerto Vallarta for a while, you've got a big surprise waiting for you the next time you hop off a plane at western Mexico's booming resort there.

It's on the "Malecon," a mile-long walkway along the main beach of PV, as the locals call the town.

Perhaps the walkway was a bit, er, seedy the last time you saw it. At best, it may have been nothing to write home about (other than some cute Star Wars-ish "Wookiee" statues here and there).

Well, the Wookiees are still there. So are some of the other old-time artworks, like the quirky Alejandro Colunga high-backed chairs with sea critters sitting in them. Ditto for the towering Sergio Bustamante ladder.

But years of work and millions of dollars have revamped the Malecon into an eye-popping, 12-block-long art show peppered by dozens of sculptures, mosaics and paintings - like the original ones, mostly with whimsical themes - along with all kinds of indoor and outdoor galleries. (There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, bars and more)
