what about Plaza Caracol

Started December 31, 2010 · 24,042 views · 5 posts
Plaza Caracol is in the hotel zone (across the street from Los Tules) past the Penisula mall on the opposite side of the street. There is Lans and Pizza Hut by the front entrance to the parking lot.

The mall is 2 story just like any other indoor mall. There are a few businesses and banks on the outside of the mall, a bank, money exchange, chicken to go, etc. Otherwise you enter all the shops from inside mall entrances. It is Air Conditioned and has a movie theater.

waiting for shopping
Thanks for the info ! I cannot quite picture the location. But how fun to
have something to ponder as I wait for my vacation ! :D
There is no enclosed mall where I live, so a visit to the Plaza C. is just another great thing about PV. I went to Galleria last time. I still really like the shoes I got there. But want to try the other mall this time. IMHO the shoes made in China (that they sell around here) just do not compare in quality to leather shoes made in Mexico.
Here is a map that will help you locate it:

Plaza Caracol is my favorite shopping center as it is nice air conditioned and has good variety.It is centrally located and you can even bargain their. But be careful for jewelry salespeople as they may overcharge you for the items.
Being Los Tules TS owners, we shopped there a lot. Now we just use MBE to pick up our mail, and the Bancomer branch (PCU). We also use the electronics kiosk on the south side to get things fixed.

Of course, we signed up for telmex DSL there when we bought our condo.
