Then in 1960 a coastal road reached the village, making it accessible to the outside world, and a village hall was built. Most consequentially for tourism, it was during that decade that surfers (pioneered by a group of Venezuelans,…

  • Hi John! I'd say 'yes' but you might want to ask John Youden: http://vallartarealestate.wordpress.com/

  • i will DEF let you know Mark- and I loved your piece in TACA's mag!
  • Hola Sylvie, How does the luxury real estate scene look in Vallarta. Worth a trip there for an article? Saludos, John
  • Hey Cessie,
    Sounds like a great trip -- I wish I could join, as I just did the Cancun feature for TACA's Explore and would love to pitch more ideas to more of my outlets. But I'm already booked with trips through April. If you have any other trips for later on, please let me know!
  • Hi Cessie, I might be interested for inclusion with our current edition of Mexico Traveler Magazine.
  • @Emma Krasov: how did your Vallarta visit go? If you haven't been yet, I'd love to give you my two cents about it. I've lived here for over 13 years. Southside IS great but North has developed alot and there are a few very nice places that should be recommended to readers if possible. Saludos!
  • Hola Cessie, Please tell me more about the press trip. Are you sponsoring or taking trip? Saludos, John
