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!

Subscribe On iTunes & Leave a Good Review Subscribe on Android With Spreaker From Vallarta Lifestyles Vallarta Lifestyles Publishing Group established Restaurant Week in 2005 through an annual festival that takes place every year from May 15 – June 10. Restaurant Week features many of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit’s most coveted restaurants. Participating establishments offer innovative three-course menus, with three options available for each course. Since the prices are often discounted by up to 50%, dining out during Restaurant Week is not only more fun, but also much more affordable. Participating restaurants can choose to offer their special, Restaurant Week menu at $269, $399 or $466 pesos per person, tips and beverages not included. I have a link in the show notes for the directory of participating restaurants from Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine. https://restaurantweekpv.com/en/participantes Each participating restaurant has a restaurant week banner hanging outside so they are easy to find.

I got some pretty good shots from there so check them out, and yes, it was a great spot to watch the action both Saturday for the trial runs, and Sunday for the real thing.
