If Puerto
Vallarta
were New
York,
Pitillal
would be its
"Village."
This is
where the
locals shop,
hold their
weddings,
socialize,
and shop
more.
The town is
just a short
trip inland,
and consists
of row after
row of
small,
privately
owned
stores.
Nearby is a
huge modern
grocery
store,
Sorbena's,
as well as
electronics
stores, auto
supply
stores,
modern movie
theater,
etc.
In the
center of
the town is
a cement
park filled
with flower
beds and
several
arbors,
beautiful
lamppost
lighting,
and a
gazebo.
Across the
street from
this park is
another of
Puerto
Vallarta's
elaborate
cathedrals
perfectly
displayed by
its
surrounding
stairway
entrance.
If you're
lucky
enough, you
will visit
Pitillal on
a day when
one of their
frequent
fashion
shows is
being
performed on
the street,
or when a
traditional
catholic
wedding
ceremony is
taking place
at the
cathedral.
One thing is
certain-
wear
comfortable
shoes and be
prepared to
leave with
your hands
full.
Clothing
stores are
abundant,
shoe stores
are
everywhere,
and just
about
everything
else is here
from toys to
souvenirs
for half the
price as in
Puerto
Vallarta's
downtown
area.
A number of
DVD and XBox
Game stores
are here-
just a note
on
purchasing
these dvd's.
Most are
pirated so
if you do
buy, be sure
to have them
play it for
you first.
Not only
will this
ensure the
quality is
acceptable,
but also
that the
movie is in
English and
that the
XBox or
Playstation
game works
at all!
