But development has caught up here as well, with a number of large developments now situated between these two towns.

Sayulita is first on the road and is recognized for good surfing. And that was long before Internet cafes joined the shops, boutiques and galleries of growingly chic Sayulita. Next on the coast is the Mexican pueblo of San Pancho (San Francisco) where not only do you find gourmet but polo, beaches and boutique hotels. And finally, the popular Lo de Marcos, where Mexican families find their spots on the beach during busy holidays.

First of all, their new governor is pro-tourism and investment, facilitating federal-state transactions. The area consistently ranks in the top five vacation destinations in the country. Investment opportunities, both national and international, continue to expand over time. Despite the time difference of one hour between Nayarit and Jalisco, time is rarely an issue, since most tourist-related businesses follow the “Vallarta clock,” or Jalisco time.

For those who haven't been there, the turn-off to Ixtapa is marked where the major speed bumps cross the road at the intersection with signs not only for Ixtapa but also for the university and Las Palmas. Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:00:00 UT http://mlsvallarta.com/mapsandregions/airport-valley.shtml c13bb2eb85bbae76a1e67280c30825c8-76 Maps & Regions John Youden <a href="http://mlsvallarta.com/mapsandregions/amapas-conchas-chinas.shtml"><img src="http://mlsvallarta.com/bm~pix/t234~s100x100.jpg" alt="Amapa/Conchas Chinas Real Estate-Link" border="0" align="left" hspace="15" /></a> Some say the best view in all of Banderas Bay is from the hills of Amapas and Conchas Chinas. For many, that's the primary reason for living in this exclusive zone just south of Vallarta's downtown area, nestled into the foothills of the Sierra Madre. For many years Conchas Chinas has offered some of the most exclusive homes around the bay. Amapas is following suite, but with high-end condominiums.

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:00:00 UT http://mlsvallarta.com/mapsandregions/southshore.shtml c13bb2eb85bbae76a1e67280c30825c8-81 Maps & Regions John Youden <a href="http://mlsvallarta.com/mapsandregions/el-centro.shtml"><img src="http://mlsvallarta.com/bm~pix/t135~s100x100.jpg" alt="El Centro-Link" border="0" align="left" hspace="15" /></a> There’s no doubt that living in the heart of downtown is attractive for many who move to Puerto Vallarta specifically for the romantic life suggested by walking along the Malecón on a sunny Sunday, surrounded by the friendly faces of Mexico. The description alone rings the bells. Or curls the toes as they dig in the soft sand. But what is life really like on the streets in the hills above downtown?

It includes a number of new developments as well as a couple of established ones that are taking on a second wind as prices rise on this fantastic stretch of sandy beaches and coves. While some areas offer beachfront, others provide oceanfront or ocean-view with numerous options for a luxurious but laid-back lifestyle.

The avenue was named after Governor Francisco Medina Ascencio, who extracted the promise to finish the road from his friend, President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz. The avenue later played an important role in welcoming President Nixon and President Díaz Ordaz to Puerto Vallarta in 1970. It was a time of great progress, in two short years providing a new international airport, a city-wide electrical system, a new port for ships and the completed road from Compostela in the northeast. Now, with several full-fledged developments, the Hotel Zone is rapidly becoming more residential.

Grupo Situr started building Marina Vallarta in the eighties based on a designed community including residential sites, a shopping mall, a school, condominiums, first-class hotels with landscaping throughout. Work on the marina itself with 450 boat slips began in 1986 and by 1990 the marina was in full swing even though it was 1993 before it was completed ahead of schedule.
