May in Review

2012

2011

2010

The month of May seemed almost as full of events as December. With the Fiestas de Mayo, Restaurant Week and Russian Ballet and spectacular Fireworks it was an amazing month.

May 2010 is almost over and it has been a very full month with something for everybody.

There was the very successful Reach for the Stars fundraiser for the SPCA de Vallarta and PEACE spay and neuter programs on May 8^th at a luxurious private beachfront villa. The extremely popular Restaurant week has now grown to 17 days from the original 7, so you can see how popular it is. The Restaurant week is a perfect way to sample some of the many fantastic restaurants that Puerto Vallarta has to offer.

The participating restaurants offer some of their best menu items at amazing prices to entice locals and visitors alike. Needless to say it is every food lovers dream come true. This is very popular with the locals of Vallarta but is becoming an attraction for visitors as well as the vacation season extends further into summer. The combination Restaurant week and the great value season rates on all of the fabulous vacation rental properties from luxury condominiums to private villas is a perfect combination to draw in tourists from afar afield as China and Europe.

This May there were and are many wonderful cultural events such as the Russian Ballet at the new Teatro Vallarta and the Fiestas de Mayo. The Russian State Ballet was the first sold out event at the new Vallarta theatre. The theatre quickly realized they had a hit sensation on their hands and invited the ballet to add new nights to their itinerary.

The last days of May sees the every popular Jalisco folkloric ballet arrive on Sunday May 30. The much lauded Vagina Monologues follow quickly on its heels for a one night only performance in Spanish.

The Fiestas de Mayo included many spectacular live outdoor productions of dance and music as well as sculptors and painters. The fiestas de Mayo go through to the last day of May ending with a spectacular display of fireworks.
