Majoska Tourist Reged: 09/20/05 Posts: 3851 Loc: Miami Beach Florida World's Best Beaches--Puerto Vallarta Beach,Mexico       03/21/06 02:47 PM Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   Puerto Vallarta Beach Puerto Vallarta (literally, "Port Vallarta") Is a city in the state of Jalisco, México. English language speakers often call the city P.V. for short, due to the difficulty some have in pronouncing the double "L" in "Vallarta." The city fronts the Bahía de Banderas on the Pacific Ocean. The city is important primarily as a tourist destination. Shipping traffic consists of cruise ships, arriving almost daily, and occasional visits by U.S. Navy frigates. The Mexican Navy maintains a base at the port. In 2003. Puerto Vallarta reported an estimated population of 165,800 and about 5 million overnight stays by tourists. It is also a popular spring break hotspot.Puerto Vallarta Beach Puerto Vallarta (literally, "Port Vallarta") is a city in the state of Jalisco, México.

It is also a popular spring break hotspot. History: The village was originally founded on December 12, 1851, by Don Guadalupe Sánchez Torres, who named it "Las Peñas de Santa María de Guadalupe" ("the rocks of Saint Mary of Guadalupe"). The name was eventually truncated to "Puerto Las Peñas" ("Port Las Peñas") meaning "Port the Rocks." The original reason for the port was to enable the transshipment of silver from nearby mines. In 1918, the village was elevated to municipality status and renamed after former state governor Ignacio L. Vallarta. reference Edited by Majoska (03/21/06 03:02 PM) Post Extras
