Las Posadas is a tradition done in Puerto Vallarta and throughout Mexico beginning on December 16 and continuing nine days until Christmas Eve. The roots of Las Posadas stretch deeply into Latin culture. It originated in Spain, but it’s been a yearly celebration throughout Mexico for over 400 years.
Each night, churches, neighborhoods, organizations, and others reenact Joseph and Mary’s search for an Inn or in Spanish a Posada. The events are held for nine days to represent one day for each month of Mary’s pregnancy.
At dusk, a procession of the faithful takes to the streets . . .
