Welcome to all 2,394 newsletter subscribers!

 

We have a huge issue for you today! Plus, there is so much happening this week -- the Patron Saint's festivities in La Peņita continue through May 20, the ever-popular Vallarta Lifestyle's Restaurant Week runs May 15-31 and the annual Reunion de Amigos del Volkswagen will roll into Guayabitos on May 17-18. If you're in town, don't miss these fun events!

 

In case you missed our BIG announcements last week, we are re-sharing the awesome improvements we recently made to JaltembaBayLife.com. By the way, if you've been considering advertising your hotel or vacation rental, now is the time. Our clients received 177 reservation inquiries during the month of April and over 730 inquiries so far this year! Intrigued? Learn why you should list with Jaltemba Bay Life.

 

A shout out to all you writers and photographers out there -- our photo and article archives are empty. Please look through your photos of day trips, adventures and new places you discovered, and submit your stuff so we can share it with our readers (learn more below). If not, I will have no choice but to start sharing photos of Taco and Panchito.

 

To find out what else is happening, read through the information below and take a peek at our online Community Calendar.

 

To help plan your upcoming trip or your day in the bay, don't forget to check the current weather conditions on the Official Jaltemba Bay Weather Page.

What had initially caught my eye though, was the intensely vivid orange coloured sky and the dark mountains below it as night...  Read More

As our departure date approaches, this question presents itself... Where will the next day trip take us? Like a thunderbolt, the answer flashes from the road atlas page. There centered in bold print is the destination -- Compostela, a colonial city. We've driven past the Nayarit city on our way to the Mexican interior, but never paused to visit.  Read More

It is their custom to greet each other, and us as well, upon...  Read More
