Barra de Navidad

The Beach at Barra de Navidad

Day 16 – Puerto Vallarta to Barra de Navidad

After a leisurely breakfast and email check we packed up and left the big city resort. The route south of PV winds inland and climbs a few hundred metres before returning to the “happy coast” (Costalegre).

We arrived in Barra de Navidad at 2 pm and looked for a hotel. It has been evident since we reached the Mexican coast that prices have climbed over the past two years. Beach towns such as Sayulita and Barra de Navidad are not super expensive but they are not the bargain that they used to be. Nice hotel rooms can still be had for $35 to $50, a little more for beach front.

There is a good selection of restaurants too with moderate but not expensive prices. We ate at “Sea Master” restaurant. It is located on the beach with 2 open air levels. Linda and I shared a order of guacamole and a chicken fajita dish. They were both excellent. The guacamole was particularly tasty with nice fresh ingredients. With a couple of beer the bill came to $16. and there was more than we could eat.

We are going to stay here one more day before going to Sayulita.

Mexican timber framing??? Dave, I think these guys could use your help.
