In an ambitious move to bolster Puerto Vallarta’s appeal to both national and international tourists, Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez has initiated a major rejuvenation project aimed at transforming the key walkways and streets leading to the upper part of downtown. This plan was unveiled during the second session of the Citizen Council of the Historic Center of Puerto Vallarta.

The Socioeconomic Rehabilitation and Reactivation Program, designed to revitalize the end-points of east-west cross streets in the downtown area, has been the focus of this initiative. The President of the Council, Eng. José de Jesús Palacios Bernal, highlighted that they are committed to beautifying these ‘corners’, particularly the spaces where cross streets end at the foot of the hill. These points are poised to become significant tourist attractions, visible from the iconic Malecón.

Rosa Jazmín Rosas Flores, from the Directorate of Tourism and Economic Development, detailed the ongoing works on Iturbide, Mina, and Galeana, noting the extensive improvements. Works include repairing planters, bowls, steps, registers, fences, tiles on stairs, applying paint, upgrading lighting, and carrying out pruning.

Future plans envision similar works in Pípila, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, Abasolo, and Zaragoza, with additional features such as terraces for resting and hosting cultural events, wall embellishments, and even the creation of murals. Projects are also in the pipeline for Corona and Leona Vicario.

Felipe de Jesús Rocha Reyes, the General Secretary of the City Council, lauded the effort to improve Puerto Vallarta’s image. He emphasized the importance of these projects in maintaining the city’s standing as a premier tourist destination.

In the same session, Christian Salvador Preciado Cázares, current Director of Tourism and Economic Development, was appointed as Technical Secretary of the Advisory Committee of the Council.
