Description

In Part 2 of the Day Trip From Puerto Vallarta to El Tuito and Mayto. I take a Taxi From El Tuito to Mayto and Tehuamixtle, on Pacific Coast of Mexico. The Taxi Driver is Javier Avila, Born and Raised in Mayto and I interviewed him on The Road to Mayto. Listen to The Podcast [caption id="attachment_2496" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Javier Avila, Taxi to Mayto[/caption] 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 El [caption id="attachment_2003" align="alignright" width="300"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] 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 is part two of my Day trip to El Tuito and Mayto and Tehuamixtle, south of Puerto Vallarta, but first a little news about what’s going on in Puerto Vallarta Mexico this week, the 21st of February 2018.

The goal was for 500 participants to come together on the Malecon and beat the previous record held by Germany, of 368. Well, they did it. Not quite the 500 but close, 492 actually signed up for [caption id="attachment_2505" align="alignleft" width="300"] The Belmar Hotel[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2475" align="alignright" width="225"] Coffee Fest PV[/caption] the event. There were far more people than that, but it was cool. Tables were set up on the Malecon, near the lighthouse, and a stage was set up as well, like Wario talked about from La Trez Cuartoz in the conversation we had a couple of weeks ago. The participants had custom made t shirts marking the event, their own coffee mug, and a chance to be part of Puerto Vallarta History. I got some sweet photos from our friend Maria Jose Zorrilla Alcala, owner of the Belmar Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, and if you haven’t heard the interview I had with Maria some time back, you need to. She is an incredible woman and a gift to Vallarta. Anyway, The Belmar Hotel was a proud sponsor of the event, and I have great photos of her that she gave me permission to use so go to the show notes for this episode and have a look. [caption id="attachment_2468" align="alignright" width="300"] Maria Jose Zorrilla Alcala at Coffee Fest PV[/caption] So, this got me to thinking, what other records have been set here in Mexico and I was surprised to find that Mexicans love to attempt to break world records. Really, they do! What is this Guinness anyway? According to the Wicki pages...On 10 November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Breweries, went [caption id="attachment_2473" align="alignleft" width="300"] Puerto Vallarta Sets Guinness World Record for Coffee Drinking[/caption] on a shooting party in Wexford, Ireland. After missing a shot at a golden plover, he became involved in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the red grouse (it is the plover). That evening at Castlebridge House, he realized that it was impossible to confirm in reference books whether the golden plover was Europe's fastest game bird. Beaver knew that ther
