Romantic Zone Puerto Vallarta (Old Vallarta)
Between downtown Puerto Vallarta on the north side and the South zone on the S side, between the Cuale River Island and Conchas Chinas you have what is now known as the Romantic Zone or Old Vallarta.
Check out the Zone map if you don’t know the general layout of the city, it’s not hard at all as it all lies along the edge of Banderas Bay in a north-south curve.
This area developed in the 1960s and 1970s when tourism started to become the town’s main income and a stable concrete bridge was built over the Cuale River (finished Oct. 1959).
There’s lots to do, shops, restaurants, bars, and much more. Hotels are smaller, less than a handful offer all-inclusive because it doesn’t really make sense when the lively town offers world-class restaurants and bars just walking out of the hotel lobbies.
