Patricia Moss, a well-known businessperson in Cruz de Huanacaxtle,  took photographs of UFOs framed by palm trees in the early morning sky around Bucerias on Friday, September 19, at around 7:25 a.m.

The coastal municipality of Cihuatlán hopes to become the first in the state to develop one of its beaches as “disabled and senior citizen inclusive.” 

Although Monday is officially a school day, many Tapatios are planning to take advantage of the federal holiday Tuesday, September 16 by heading to the beach this weekend.

Anyone who has driven along Jalisco’s coastal Highway 200 between Puerto Vallarta and  Barra de Navidad will be aware that the 224-kilometer trip can turn into  a windy, tortuous slog – especially if one gets stuck behind slow-moving traffic on the two-lane road..   

Authorities closed all of the beaches in Puerto Vallarta Wednesday after Hurricane Marie generated waves of up to eight meters high on Tuesday evening.

Barra de Navidad’s beach has been restored to the pristine condition it enjoyed before Hurricane Jova ripped through the Jalisco coastal town in October 2011.

Business owners on Puerto Vallarta’s revamped, pedestrian-only malecon are pleading with the state and city governments to allow traffic back on to the street adjoining the port’s boardwalk at certain times.

Puerto Vallarta appears to be back in favor as foreign tourists head for the resort in far greater numbers than in recent years.
