Los Mercados, Puerto Vallarta’s Favorite Plaza, Returns Wednesday, October 1

Los Mercados and some of our favorite shops in Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone will return Wednesday, October 1, after a six week vacation.

This is great news for those whose wine shelf is looking a little bare and is in desperate need of restocking with the help of Cork+Bottle, or those of us who have been craving the Mikey’s Rubenesque or B.L.T at lunch time. And there is not a better way to have some family fun than painting pottery at Fireworks! for all ages.

Los Mercados is a plaza located in the Zona Romantica area of Puerto Vallarta offering a variety of shops to the local community; from fresh produce and wines and spirits, to a delicatessen & café, along with family fun while you paint your own ceramics at FireWorks.

The open-air courtyard and top floor patio hosts café tables, a water fountain, and plants making Los Mercados the perfect place to relax or have a business lunch while enjoying a freshly prepared sandwich from Mikey’s or a coffee and pastry from k’rico :) or a glass of wine from Cork + Bottle.

Located at Aquiles Serdan 265, Col. Emiliano Zapata – Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico 48304.
