You can catch the bus to El Tuito on the corner of V. Carranza and Aguacuate. It takes about an hour to get to El Tuito. I don't have any suggestions for restaurants there, but there are several in town. When you are walking around town ask where the cookie ladie's house is. Her cookies are really good and everything is baked in wood burning ovens. She lets you go out and see the ovens. Racilla can be found at different places around town, one of them is across the street from the church, just ask and someone will tell you where it is.

I missed going to El Coleguito on my last trip so I can't answer your question about music on Sunday afternoon. Seems like they have someone singing in everytime I go.

There is a great restaurant that we found on our trip to El Tuito in June of 2010.The name is EL PATIO DE MARIO,it is located in the center of town and has the best mexican food.They serve only the freshest foods that are raised in the area.We sat in the patio and they started making our corn tortillas when we placed our order .The food is high quality at a very resonable price and it is delicious, including a dessert they gave us of fresh cheese drizzled with agave nectar that they make and also sell at the small boutique they have at the entrance. The owners are Mario and Anabel,they are both lawyers that decided to move to a more peaceful place to continue raising their family.They were very hospitable and we enjoyed their company.We can hardly wait to go back in May and try out some of their other foods. We also visited the famous cookie/bread lady,she gave us samples and we brought back some delicious cookies ,but not enough as they are addictive.We also plan to see her again and buy much more,but this time we will go on a day that she is baking bread .We went on a Tuesday and that is the only day she does not bake.Enjoy your trip !

I live in Texas and in this part it is hot and humid, so to us it was hot ,but bearable since it was 100 + in Texas at the time .This will be our third year going in the summer to PV as the flights are cheaper,less crowds,better rates and as warm as it may be it is still better with the ocean breezes than where we live.We just love PV in any season and will be staying for a month and a half and can't wait to get there !

El Tuito is cooler than PV is because it is in the mountains. There is a point driving there that you feel the temperature change. It won't be really cool in June but it will be cooler than you will find PV to be.
