The daily life of Puerto Vallarta as a tourist attraction

The daily life of Puerto Vallarta is what the new visitor is looking for; he is a consumer of stories, adventures, tastings and experiences, one of the most important souvenirs that he can take with him.

Decades ago, tourist destinations were divided into sun and beach destinations, where tourists spent much of their time sunbathing, enjoying the sea and the beach with a good tropical cocktail, and, at the other extreme, were the historic cities. , where people toured, walked, got to know, sometimes compared and always captured the views in photography, since they consider them memories of their past known through travel or through the magic of reading.

That was the time of the static tourist, the one who came to rest; Today, only the memory remains of that visitor, because the new one is a consumer of stories, adventures, tastings and many experiences, which will be one of the most important souvenirs that can be taken from these trips.

In the first decades, Vallarta shared its murmurs and silences, the stars and the sand with tourists, they were part of its reality, they returned every year for a long time and lived the adventure of residing and living in a fishing village.

Then the modern hotel zone and the massification, was making the tourism a very important industry, but further away from local society due to the dynamics of massive tourists, who have come for a week to sunbathe, and eat good fish with an ice cold beer, and if it is Pacific, better. But that stage is over.

THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF PUERTO VALLARTA IS THE ATTRACTION

The new tourist who visits us is curious par excellence, he is a collector of experiences, he is a seeker of new things, even if they are short-lived, since he records it in the backpack of memories, which is why today we are before that new challenge to recover that dialogue, to live that adventure together. The landscape is the people, the colors their dresses, crafts and flavors.

Puerto Vallarta is one of those cities where the value of the people and their ways of life are a landscape in itself and, therefore, a great attraction for that tourist who ceases to be a guided visitor to define himself as a seeker of treasures in the midst of the people.

Today the tourist wants to know everything possible and not only the traditional landscapes of a destination, but the dynamics of this one that can only be known by walking the geography of daily life and tasting through the view, the colors and shapes of the town, the aromas of its food and its perfumes, or the taste of its typical dishes, perhaps one of the best kept treasures.

Walking the city is a challenge, through the steep streets, the long stairs that seem to go to heaven, but the prize at the end is surprising, the stillness of the sea or the bravery of its waves and a sailboat in the distance as if painted on the landscape; a dreamy sunset are part of the long art gallery that the beauty of the port has at the end of its viewpoints.

The new tourist who visits us is a curious person par excellence, he is a collector of experiences, he is a seeker of new things.

THE LANDSCAPE IS THE PEOPLE

But you have to walk again, to be able to digest the colors and their beauty, you have to keep looking among the multitude of stalls in the popular market, where the colors and aromas compete with the beautiful shapes of plants and flowers, in front of the attractive flavor of the food that is at its point, to be able to taste and thus gather another I remember, that the tourist always carries in his backpack.

The windows open, the doors only with a half screen, so that the wind enters, so that the friend can come to share; It is the people who live with the visitor, who answer the questions as a specialized guide, the one who advises, the one who wants to help first to understand each other and then to continue learning. At night and further away from the streets of the center are one of the most traditional institutions of this old fishing village and of Jalisco in general, the “cenadurías”. Sometimes just a table, a large casserole with typical pozole dishes to the different appetizers, those who serve us, are always attentive to serve the horchata water, the fruit flavored water and others, which serve to accompany this typical meal. of the local people.
