Bells and Whistles: Traveling Services in Banderas Bay

How many times at home have you forgotten that’s its garbage collection day, only to be reminded as you hear the truck rumble past your house?  In Banderas Bay, the garbage collectors make life a little easier for the forgetful among us by ringing a cowbell as they make their way along their route, giving you plenty of time to run down to the street with your trash.

Are your knives a little dull?  The tomatoes aren’t slicing perfectly for your homemade salsa fresca?  Just listen for a tin whistle because it’s the sound of the local knife sharpener.  For usually less than a dollar each, the sharpener will get your knives as sharp as the day you bought them.

And your kitchen can be stocked with some of the best produce from Banderas Bay without you ever leaving home.  Pick-ups trucks from local farms in the Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit area will drive through neighborhoods with freshly picked strawberries, corn, coconuts, pineapples, fresh herbs, tomatoes and many other fruits and vegetables offered at extremely reasonable prices.  And listen for the happy tune of the ice cream man as he pedals his bicycle with the freezer box full of popsicles through the streets or for the call of the impressively strong water delivery men who will carry heavy jugs of bottled water up to your home with a smile.

So keep your window and your ears open to take advantage of travelling services through your neighborhood, one of the most charming and convenient parts of the Banderas Bay lifestyle.
