What do I need to know before moving to Puerto Vallarta?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Puerto Vallarta, they said...
"I would suggest renting in the 5 Diciembre neighborhood. It has excellent food market, Leys, and a short hike to fresh meat and seafood. If you want to try it out, I suggest you first spend a week or more in the exceptionally well run Grand Paramar small hotel on the beach," wrote a member who made the move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
