Description

This sleepy port town, about 45 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, is perfect for strolling. Historically, the 16th century town has been a regular, if minor, stop on several trade routes, and the remains of a hacienda just before entering the town provide a little architectural history. With a little exploring, you will also find the remains of an old sugar mill. There are a few very economical restaurants, and the main plaza has a net for volleyball, with a few fooseball tables and a billiard hall just off the plaza. Its perfect for a taste of the sedate, rural Mexican life, but if you're in the mood for some adventure, ask around for "raicilla", a local mezcal-based moonshine.
