Bucerías
Bucerías, which translates to 'place of divers,' has maintained its original character while offering modern amenities. The town is famous for its colorful houses and cobblestone streets leading to the central plaza. The miles-long beach is a hotspot for wind and kitesurfers but also features quiet sections for relaxation. Bucerías is particularly known for its lively art scene; the weekly 'Art Walk' on Thursday is a cultural highlight. Local gastronomy is excellent, offering a wide selection from authentic Mexican cantinas to chic oceanfront restaurants. Access is very easy due to its proximity to Puerto Vallarta (about 25 minutes' drive). The best time to visit is from November to May. Bucerías is the first-rate destination for travelers seeking a more authentic experience than in the large resorts, yet still valuing good infrastructure and a variety of leisure activities. A place that harmoniously combines tradition and modernity.
