San Sebastian Del Oeste (West)San Sebastian del Oeste is named so to differentiate it from Spain's own San Sebastian at the north-east coast of the Basque province. It is now an UNESCO World Heritage site. When its mines were discovered by the Spanish colonists in 1605, the town was founded. One of its most beautiful attributes is the close harmony with its natural surroundings that has been maintained to this day, and covers nearly 2000 square miles. The town itself spreads over 37 partially settled hectares, on which, amazingly, still stand enormous haciendas and mansions, very well maintained, left over from the colonial period. READ MORE |

RAICILLA Goes MainstreamRaicilla is a notorious liquor, home grown in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas, was, until recently, the equivalent of American moonshine. It is a kind of mescal or tequila, as it is made from Agave cactus, but specifically from leguchilla cactus, which is not fine enough to make standard tequila. Lately, Raicilla has become legitimised and accepted in most Vallarta restaurants and bars, thanks to branding and tax payment. Vallarta now hosts a Raicilla festival in its main square downtown every spring (dates for the 2010 festival have not yet been confirmed). Locals prefer the bootleg style of presentation, usually in a two-litre soda bottle, or in a large glass jar, even though there are more respectable, labelled presentations of it. READ MORE |

The Puerto Vallarta Film FestivalThis festival was founded by Robert James Roessel in 2004. It began as an attempt to bring Elizabeth Taylor back to Vallarta (from the time she was here watching over Richard Burton as he filmed the Night of the Iguana with Ava Gardner, under the direction of John Houston). The attempt to bring Liz back failed, perhaps due to her health problems, or perhaps because there was a porn theatre here that bore her name. READ MORE |
