Vallarta comes clean

Leading up to the Easter vacation, Puerto Vallarta authorities removed many illegal billboards and canvas signs, and also painted over ugly wall publicity.

In addition, businesses in the center of town were pushed to wash their awnings and sidewalks. City hall has prohibited businesses selling micheladas and other alcoholic cocktails to go, in order to promote a more family oriented atmosphere on the malecon. This year, no stands selling beer were permitted on the beach.
