This is a nice place to walk and check out all the wonderful sculptures along the way. Life is what you make of it and you could certainly complain about timeshare sharks, vendors, poor kids selling chicklets or what have you. But, the bottom line is that this is still a great walking tour! Me and my best friend walked... more

My family and I are from Californiga, we went to spend New Year's Eve in Puerto Vallarta. We stationed our car at a parking lot building, right at the end of El Malecon, it's maybe 5 or 6 stories. We had a great time shopping and eating at El Malecon. We left right before 10 p.m. When we were exiting... more

Environment: If you want to see other Americans confused and resorting to their mall manners, then this is the place to be. Everything varies wildly in price, starting at high and going to crazy, and it seems like every store has exactly the same merchandise. It was kind of Tijuana like to me.

We walked the Malecon almost every night. I couldn't get enough of it. It was so fun being immersed in the cultural. We always went at night and then picked a restaurant on the waterfront.

Just got back from PV and spent alot of time stroling along the Malecon. What a cool little boardwalk along the coastmust be special when there are whales in the bay. Although it was extremly hot (be sure to reapply suntan lotion) even at 7- 8 pm. Me and my g/f had a blast during our stay they had a... more

The Malecon was a great place to walk around and explore. There were a lot of gift shops, high end shops and flee market style shopping. There is also a lot of live entertainment and art to see along the walk (don’t forget to tip). The views were beutifal so you do not want to forget your camera. This is... more

The Malecon is a beautiful waterfront promenade that runs from the beginning of the Centro to the edge of Old Town. Besides some interesting shopping destinations and galleries, it offers free live entertainment, a market offering souvenirs, artwork, and carts selling local food treats. The beach along the Malecon is peppered with some of the most skillful sand sculptors I've... more
