Last night was Halloween here in Puerto Vallarta and I have enjoyed the craziness that it provides especially this year with the new boardwalk almost completed! I am impressed with the work that was done and I think it is going to be a great place to gather in the evenings and weekends for all of the citizens and tourists in Puerto Vallarta. With a nice smooth street level walkway, access points to the beach, and plenty of seating around planters; it is a fantastic improvement on the old one. The famous sculptures are on their way back in their new homes of elevated platforms and lighting.
Like most projects of this sort, it was delayed in completion, but I see it coming together now in the coming weeks and it will the main attraction for the city for many many years to come!
With its first Halloween under its belt, the Malecon provided just the right atmosphere and design that is going to make it a great gathering place for young and old. Halloween is celebrated here in PV I think because the Americans brought it with them and they seemed to be the only ones who bring candy to hand out to the thousands of children dressed in their costumes. The most popular ones this year seem to be brides, pumpkins, and skeletons as it has been in the many years past.
We usually enjoy the vantage point from a restaurant (The Cheeky Monkey) and are able to attract quite the crowd down below begging for our candy. We make an attempt to toss it around, so everyone get's their share! Happy Halloween PV!
