Another great Vallarta sunset in gay-friendly Mexico

A nice shot of Los Muertos beach, the gay-friendly and principal town beach in Vallarta,
then looking at the Conchas Chinas neighborhood hillsides in mid-range, and then
father on are the South Shores and Mismaloya off the distance to the right.
The gay beach at the Blue and Green chairs is the last set of umbrellas way down.
 

Flowering at the splendid Botanical Gardens pond, one of the
town's major natural attractions since 2005.

Brilliant sunset into Banderas Bay in Pto Vallarta, Mexico
 

Some of the handsome staff at the La Margarita gay bar and martini lounge.
Located at 257 Lazaro Cardenas street, La Margarita is across the street from disco CC Slaughters
and next door to club La Noche, so it's on the popular Lazaro Cardenas gay circuit
which also now includes Mr. Flamingo and Paco's Ranch as well

At the Los Muertos gay beach during Semana Santa or Holy Week at Easter time
when the town is crowded with Mexican nationals on vacation.

The Green and Blue Chairs of the gay beach, both with popular beachfront restaurant-bars
located near the southern end of Playa Los Muertos, the principal Puerto Vallarta beach.
The friendly clientele sit under the many round, thatched palapas for shade or
lay out on their towels to soak up some of Mexico's radiant sun.
 

Christmas time along the new Malecon Extension - something to do and see
while strolling from the South Side into Downtown
 

A very lovely Day of the Dead altar to Hugo Gutierrez V. in the downtown zocalo or main plaza -
something to do and see while visiting Vallarta in early November each year
Notice the orange marigold flowers which are said to welcome the spirits of the deceased home.

November 1-2, the Mexicans celebrate the the Day of the Dead to remember those who have died
and on this day return for a visit. Altars are often constructed in on which photos, flowers,
sweets, marigold flowers, confetti paper and other offerings to the dead are placed.
There are many displays of traditional Catrinas such as seen above,
which have come to symbolize el Dia de los Muertos and the Mexican willingness to laugh at death itself.
Above photo taken at the main Vallarta municipal flea market to remind us.

A nice shot of Los Muertos beach looking south into Conchas Chinas
showing the traditional thatched palapas at the beachfront restaurants that line the shore,
as well as the popular parachute rides.
 

A fine picture showing the Los Muertos Pier taken from the rooftop of the La Palapa condominiums.
The structure took about two years to build and tons of money,
and was designed by Mexican architect Jose de Jesus Torres Vega.
Personally, I prefer the simpler old pier or muelle, but this new one has become one of the
main tourist attractions in town. It also leads many people to take a good walk from
the downtown Malecon, for a pleasant stroll through the South Side Romantic Zone.
 CNN highlighted the city's newest gem in 2014 as one of the nine most beautiful piers in the world.
It was festively inaugurated on January 4, 2013 with fireworks, music and big crowds
