Fiestas de la Virgin of Guadalupe
- Phone: 322/223-2500
Fodor's Review:
Puerto Vallarta's most important celebration of faith -- and also one of the most elaborate spectacles of the year -- is Fiestas de la Virgin of Guadalupe, designed to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe, the city's patron saint and the patroness of all Mexico. Exuberance fills the air as the end of November approaches and each participating business organizes its own procession. The most elaborate ones include allegorical floats and giant papier-mâché matachines, or dolls (for lack of a better word), and culminate in their own private mass. Throughout the afternoon and evening, groups snake down Calle Juárez between Woolworths and the Cathedral in Old Vallarta.
