Learn Spanish in Mexico: Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta has developed from being a small coastal town in the state of Jalisco, to being one of Mexico's most important and most visited tourist spots. Despite this, Puerto Vallarta has managed to keep its unique "old Mexico" charm reflected on its architecture, cobble stone streets, its white-washed façade buildings, and of course, its people!

The heart of the city boasts open air markets, art galleries, and boutiques. This is old Mexico! However, a short distance away you will find modern facilities such as, five star resorts, all types of hostels and hotels, luxury condominiums, golf courses, and much more.

The city enjoys over 300 sunny days each year, and an average temperature of approximately 83 degrees F (28ºC). As it is situated on the same latitude as Hawaii, it has a similar sunny and tropical climate. It offers perfect beach holidays and adventure activities, as it is surrounded by mountains and highlands.

You can never say you have been to Puerto Vallarta if you have not enjoyed a walk along the Malecon. This is one of the most important tourist attractions in Puerto Vallarta, and one of the first things to do as you arrive and begin your journey to Spanish fluency. Covering about 10 blocks, you can find art sculptures, market stalls and handicrafts, and an open-aired theatre where street performers will catch your attention. You can also enjoy the stunning view of Banderas Bay, and a perfect sunset! Right across the street from the Malecon, you will find restaurants, stores, and the nightlife Vallarta is also known for!

Whether you are travelling solo, with friends, or with your entire family; visiting and studying Spanish in Puerto Vallarta will offer something for everyone!
