The Artists are Finished!

Saturday

I went to the chalk art festival at about 5:00 on Saturday, February 10, knowing the artwork would be in various stages of completion. 

I returned on Sunday to capture the finished artwork and update this article. I hope you enjoy this amazing art as much as I did! If you are in Puerto Vallarta this week, take a stroll through the Plaza de Armas to see this gallery on the grounds.

Art Walk in Puerto Vallarta's Historic District and Dinner at No Sé Nada

 From October to End of June

Colectika Gallary is Stop #1 on the Art Walk

Wednesday was our first time touring the Puerto Vallarta Historic District Art Walk galleries. We visited most Official Member Art Walk galleries, beginning with #1 on the map, Colectika. I enjoyed that gallery the most. The friendly young man who welcomed us at the door explained the art and artists we were interested in.

Part of the fun of the Art Walk is that the Historic District is more than art galleries. We saw beautiful murals, old Spanish architecture, and many good restaurants along the route.

We Love the Old Wood and Metal Doors

We chose to have dinner at No Sé Nada, across the street from the last galleries on the map. It’s one of our favorite restaurants and a good value. We both had the salmon with sauteed spinach, mashed potatoes, and a delicious creamy wine sauce. We always order our salmon well done, bien cocido, so this photo shows it grilled more than the chef typically serves. The upstairs terrace is our favorite place to dine, and it's now open during the rainy season since they've added a roof and awning.

The Historic District Art Walk continues through June 28^th, Wednesdays from 6:00 to 10:00 PM. It will resume in October or November. I recommend the walk, just off the Malecón. Three more Art Walk Wednesdays this month!

Spring Colors in the Puerto Vallarta Area--Where Are All the Flowers?

 Where Are All the Flowers?

Mural at New Cuban Restaurant, Que Bola

It’s spring, but we don’t see many flowers blooming here right now unless you go to the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. The hills look pretty brown—we’re still in the dry season until June or July, when the long-awaited rains come. Summer and autumn are when we see more flowers blooming. But there is no lack of color in Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding area!

Mother's Day Sunset at The Blue Shrimp Restaurant

So, the colors we see around us in spring are mostly from murals, amazing sunsets, ever-changing ocean tones, bright Mexican clothing, restaurant food, flags, and hanging umbrellas. Mexico is a colorful place year-round.

I hope you enjoy my collection of spring photos.

Daquiri Dick's Shrimp Cocktail—Yum!

Our new favorite restaurant for special occasions is Noroc. It’s a magical place at the beach, each table surrounded by water, with wonderful food.

Filet Mignon and Seafood Stuffed Chicken

Mexican musicians often wear colorful clothing, adding festivity.

The ocean, tile mosaics, and vivid decorations add color to our days.
