Penita Tianguis

This place is amazing! Affordable prices, a lot of variety in music, clothing, toys, and of course food/snack choices. It’s too bad that it’s just once a week especially for those of us that come from Oregon. I wish they were there more often.

Great market

You see a lot of markets on the West Coast if you travel in Riviera Nayarit. We loved this one. The vendors are more 'independent' from the tourists and do not bargain as much. The price is the price. I liked that. I found nice,...More

The Real Mexico

La Penita is a Mexican "working town" -- meaning its economy is NOT tourism; and for that reason, it's a great tourist area. Next to it is Guayabitos the Mexican holiday beach with one of the best beaches in Mexico - much nicer than Sayulita,...More
