Malecon Boardwalk Vallarta — Local services in Jalisco

After Googling "what to do in Puerto Vallarta," most searches and things listed to see pointed directly to the Malecon. The Malecon is basically a sidewalk that runs along the shore in the "old Puerto Vallarta," for about a mile, that's lined with hotels, street vendors, art work, shops, and restaurants.

Some notable but not impressive things to see is the amphitheater - a small, sunken area at the north end that features a set of arches as its backdrop. There are a few sculptures along the way like a seahorse and what looked like a dancing couple. The others were forgettable. I also saw numerous tequila shops, touristy junk shops, and the infamous OXXO chain of 7 Eleven-like convenience stores where I grabbed some much needed lemon iced tea.

The store was Joyería Marino. The ring was in the first display as you walked in and they told us it was platinum...

So much fun, food is delicious! And at night in the opening you get to enjoy live entertainment!

Totally recommend this boardwalk if you going to be visit Puerto Vallarta in the future; put it on...
