Puerto Vallarta has some great bands, and La Trez Cuartoz is one of them. Mario Hernandez Torres, Fernando Aguilera, and Luis Chabeloko are talented musicians who know how to Rock and Roll.     Listen to The Podcast Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The [caption id="attachment_194" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] El Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water’s edge. It’s so romantic, it’s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week I have three talented musicians I want to introduce to you, , La Trez Cuartoz. But first, what’s happening in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, this week the 31st of January, 2018.

I have a link to their Facebook page in the show notes as well as a link to the article in the Banderas news that has all the times and events planned for the next 4 days in Puerto Vallarta. Also a map to Arena Vallarta, and look, if you go, be prepared to be immersed in the Mexican Horse riding culture. You may be the only gringo or gringa there. Who knows?

Not bad at all. We’ll see. They have been waiting a long time for this to happen in Vallarta. It will be nice to get those stinky, loud busses off the roads. Now don’t get all nostalgic on me you guys. You know you are going,
