  • Puerto Vallarta Living: Souvenirs

    Souvenirs from Puerto Vallarta

    There’s no reason to be stumped when shopping for souvenirs in Puerto Vallarta; there’s something for everyone. Check out your hometown Starbucks and you’ll find some of the best coffee in the world comes from Mexico. You can pack home a gift for your favorite coffee drinker; whole or ground beans. Though much of the coffee that comes from Mexico is from Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, we do have our own local markets that receive a lot of praise. To name a few: Café Catedral, El Fortin, Café Oro Verde, San Sebastián del Oeste.
    Doña Maria is a great brand of mole paste and super convenient, but if you want something more authentic, check out our neighborhood markets. You will find more than fresh produce in colonias like Palmar de Aramara, Emiliano Zapata, and the tiangues (flea markets) You can pick up incredible mole paste; fresh and made locally. They will also have ground mole powder; try your hand at making your mole at home!
    A molinillo is a cooking utensil found in any authentic Mexican kitchen. It’s used to make stove-top hot chocolate from scratch (the best way). More than an implement for cooking, molinillos are works of art. We also recommend wooden spatulas and spoons, and love those with burnt carvings that over time take on a beautiful patina.
    To go with your molinillo (pronounced mo-lin-ee-oh), don’t forget to buy real artisanal chocolate, another main product of Mexico, in powder or block form. The variety of options and flavors is plentiful and gives inspiration to the adventurous cook.
    Vanilla is a must for yourself and as a gift, available everywhere, including pharmacies and the airport. We buy the small (4 – 8 ounces) bottles that give less danger of leakage in a suitcase. Add a bit to your hot chocolate for true genuine taste.
    One of the biggest hits bringing back mementos from Puerto Vallarta are the Lucha Libre masks. The original El Santo, one of the most famous masked luchadores in Mexico is available, as well as current wrestlers such as Shocker and Rey Mysterio. It’s a great Halloween or masquerade costume and they come in adult and kids sizes, available at the Mercado Municipal, the main tourist market in the middle of town.
    Whether it’s a large platter or a small butter dish, hand crafted pottery is a sure bet to make someone smile. Our store with the largest inventory is certainly Mundo de Azulejos, however there are smaller boutiques everywhere in Puerto Vallarta where you can find good quality ceramics, tiles and glassware.
    Textiles from scarves and pullovers, to rugs and linen are big favorites. A beautiful woven piece of art made in Mexico and purchased in Puerto Vallarta can be displayed and used for generations to come.
    Que es cómo es.

  • A real grasp on the Real Estate Market

    October 15, 2014

    To whom it may concern.

    I engaged the services of Dana Scapa and Stella Leavitt, The Dream Team of Puerto Vallarta, with Timothy Real Estate Group for the sale of my condo unit at Paramount Bay in Puerto Vallarta. They were extremely diligent and always showed up ahead of the scheduled appointment to ensure the unit was at its best.  It was well marketed and we had several showings before it sold.  I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in the purchase or sale of their property as they were delightful to work with have a real grasp on the real estate market.

  • Puerto Vallarta: We Can’t Stress This Enough

    Safety in Mexico

    The subject of safety in Mexico comes up often. A media machine in the US is not short on news these days but when shootings happen anywhere, it does garner attention.  Puerto Vallarta is a long way from Cancun, comparable to the distance between Los Angeles and New York, or Vancouver BC and Toronto.  Not to say that Cancun is a violent place; it’s just been in the news a lot the past few days. Reports have been very general and never get into the specifics. A woman was killed and the details are grisly, but this was no schoolmarm. It’s hard for some people to embrace the fact that a woman might be the target of violence when it comes to cartel activity. However, a female leader controls drugs sales in Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Doña Lety, as she is known, was a police officer and with her son, is wanted on multiple drug trafficking charges. These people tend to go after one another and civilians are rarely at any risk.

    Our advice is to stay away from areas that are known to be shady and probably dangerous. Where are these places in Puerto Vallarta? There are none. Puerto Vallarta is safe downtown; in the marina; Mismaloya and in the jungle above; Yelapa, Las Animas, Quimixto, reachable only by boat; the back roads that lead to spas, all-you-can-eat shrimp restaurants and golf courses; the beach; dance clubs; cruise ship terminal…we can’t think of anywhere in Puerto Vallarta we would be afraid to venture.

    We have always recommended using common sense when traveling in and around Puerto Vallarta and that goes for any city, anywhere across the globe. There are always pockets of unrest that can be sought out if dangerously is really how one wants to spend their vacation. When going to Chicago, we limit our activities to such things as the Art Institute, Millennium Park, the Russian Tea Room, a show at the Chicago Theater and other delightful pastimes. We manage to avoid visiting Riverdale, Fuller or Washington Park areas, where scientific data has determined tourists should steer clear of. Same for Mexico; there are places we would shun, such as Tepito in Mexico City, where thieves will gladly relieve you of your wallet in such a quick manner, you might not know it’s gone until you reach into your pocket to make a purchase.

    It’s not rocket science. It’s easy to stay safe when traveling. Don’t try to buy drugs. Our best advice.

  • Puerto Vallarta: Ghouls & Goblins

    Halloween in Puerto Vallarta

    When we first began to visit Puerto Vallarta in the early-1980’s Halloween celebrations were scarce. On October 31, a few people would show up at local clubs in costume and some got in the spirit. For the most part, Halloween was just another night in Puerto Vallarta. Kids were just beginning to catch on to the holiday and often the Malecón would have families showing off little goblins, princesses and we recall a little boy in a Superman cape, with a big red S handed-painted on his chest.

    Over the years we have seen this spooky and fun celebration catch on, with both children and grownups in full regalia of haunting, superheroes and cartoon characters. Each year we are amazed and delighted with the el borate details people are willing to go to and the sophisticated makeup they don’t mind wearing when the weather has yet to have really cooled down. We love being out on this night to participate and observe. Everyone’s in a jolly mood, despite some of the mawkish and scary outfits. There are places in Old Town where you can have your face painted as a Katrina, the skeletal mask decorated with flowers and gems. Women (and men) dress up at Frida Kahlo and there are many Pancho Villas and Emiliano Zapatas wandering the streets, along with the Walking Dead.

    If you sit in an outdoor restaurant, especially those down at the beach, children will accost you with loud voices, shouts of HALLOWEEN in their manner of trick-or-treating, which has been modified in Puerto Vallarta. Come prepared with a bag of candy, as you also will pass these little creatures on the sidewalks and they are expecting something in return for their efforts.

    Carved pumpkins have recently begun making an appearance in Puerto Vallarta but we don’t recommend leaving them out on the front step, as we are wont to do in chillier climes. They will rot quickly in the heat, making a mess and smell; plus they’ll attract critters of all sizes, ants, raccoons and other unwanted pests.

    It’s no longer necessary to purchase and pack costumes from up north. Puerto Vallarta now has its own stores, which supply all sizes, adult and children, with a multitude of themes, plus wigs, makeup and ideas, too! We have stopped into Disfraces Pillin in the Fluvial and can assure shoppers that they are ready for the masses. Get your Thriller on!

  • Puerto Vallarta Living: 15th Birthday

    The Mexican Quinceañera

    Every Mexican girl has a quinceañera. The translation means fifteenth birthday but in Puerto Vallarta it can mean so much more. A young lady often gets a party to outdo all parties; a celebration of many things. The priority of a quinceañera is the acknowledgement of social responsibility, which symbolizes the passage from childhood into maturity. The focus is on family, friends, music, food, dance and religion. Quinceañera is also what we call the young lady being honored.
    Akin to the tradition of cotillions and debutante balls, the young lady will choose an escort (chambelan) to accompany and present her, dance with her, and be by her side for the entire event. Being chosen as a chambelan is considered an honor. At some quinceañeras, you will see several chamblanes and perhaps young women damas to counter them. The waltzes they do have often been practiced for months in preparation for the party.
    Traditional quinceañeras begin with a mass at church, followed by what is most often a lavish party. They are not only similar to a wedding; they often cost more than the average Mexican wedding. It’s not unusual for a father to pay upwards of $10,000 for his daughter’s quinceañera. Venue, food, music, DJ’s, decorations, dresses for the honoree, outfits for the rest of the family.
    At the mass, the young woman will be presented to God and make promises to honor herself and her religion. The changing of the shoes is fun ceremony where the parents symbolically give their daughter her first high heels and help her change out of flats into shoes that indicate she has transitioned out of childhood. Chances are she has tested these shoes out beforehand, since she will spend the evening dancing in them. Sometimes the young lady will pass on a favorite doll to a younger sister, another sign of growing up. The father-daughter dance kicks off dancing for everyone, just as in a traditional wedding. An MC, or maybe a DJ, will have members of the family and community take the microphone and say something memorable about the quinceañera.
    Appropriate gifts, should you be invited to a quinceañera, are rosaries, bibles, tiaras, scepters, medals that can all be purchased in the cathedral shop. Money is also a highly regarded gift and the most common. Grandparents often present the quinceañera with fifteen red roses, stems that signify strength, and roses for sweetness. Birthstone rings and bracelets are often gifted.
    Though a quinceañera seems like a very dressy event, it’s mainly the celebrants and family who are decked out in fancy apparel. Guests are expected to dress nicely, but gowns and tuxedos are not expected.

  • Vallarta Real Estate Inspired Living: Coffee

    Coffee for a Cold Winter Night

    One of our favorite things about the winter holidays in Puerto Vallarta is the availability of the yummy drink café de olla. This delicious coffee beverage can be found year round if you know where to look but around Christmas it’s more abundant on the streets of Puerto Vallarta. We recall warming cold hands around a clay cup, many years ago, standing under the crown of the Church of Guadalupe, discovering a magical flavor to go with other seasonal joys. Café de olla is flavored with cinnamon (canela in Spanish) and piloncillo, which is unrefined whole cane sugar, a solid form of sweetness made from boiling and evaporating the juice from sugarcane. You’ve probably seen the cone-shaped brown chunks in stores in Puerto Vallarta.

    Café de olla is a traditional coffee drink of Mexico. Café de olla should be served in a clay mug, the type sold in souvenir stores in Puerto Vallarta. You can find these collections of dishes ranging from large platters to tiny shot-glass sized cups. In the past the mugs were a part of the purchase, brimming withhot liquid, but it’s doubtful vendors can keep up with that kind of demand these days. Now café de olla is served in a disposable cup.

    The streets of Puerto Vallarta at Christmastime offer so many tasty treats and we can’t recommend café de olla too much. Though it is served year round in some restaurants, including the one that bears the name, the café de olla we purchase during the holidays seems to be richer, made with the blessings of the season.

    Surprising to many, the main ingredient of café de olla is Nescafe; Mexicans know how to make it taste delicious. To make our own version at home in Puerto Vallarta we use the following method: In a saucepan, add a short cup of fresh ground coffee of your choice (the darker, the better) to a quart of hot water; a couple cinnamon sticks (essential ingredient); and the equivalent of half a cup piloncillo (use brown sugar if you’re in the north and have no access to piloncillo; about a third of an orange peel (yes, just the peel). Bring this to a boil. You can also toss in a pinch of nutmeg or cloves. Boil for about a minute, remove from the heat, cover and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and serve.

    Get some of those beautiful clay mugs; you won’t regret it.

  • ¿Cuál ha sido la experiencia más satisfactoria durante la filmación de House Hunters International?

    Timothy Real Estate Group filmó el primer episodio de House Hunters International, el increíblemente popular y altamente te adictivo programa de televisión sobre bienes raíces para el canal de televisión HGTV en el 2012. Avanzando rápidamente hasta el año 2014, esta fuerza motriz de los Bienes Raíces filmó tres episodios más, y fueron los anfitriones del evento de caridad que se llevo a cabo en el restaurante Daiquiri Dick’s en el 2012, fundó la Feria de Bienes Raíces de Puerto Vallarta, lanzó un sitio web móvil dinámico amigable y está trabajando en su Segundo evento para estrenar el Nuevo episodio del programa de televisión House Hunters para recaudar fondos. Conversamos con Taniel Chemsian,el agente de bienes raíces que protagoniza los cuatro episodios, para una ronda de Preguntas y Respuestas:

    ¿Cuál ha sido la experiencia más satisfactoria durante la filmación de House Hunters International?

    Tener la oportunidad de promover a Puerto Vallarta y dar a conocer todos los maravillosos lugares, personas y empresas familiares de la ciudad.

    ¿Cuál fue la mayor sorpresa durante el rodaje?

    Fue una ardua labor. Armar un episodio no es tan fácil como parece. Se necesita preparación, trabajo en equipo y el compromiso de todos los involucrados.

    ¿Cuáles han sido algunos de los retos durante la filmación en Puerto Vallarta?

    Uno de los mayores retos es el clima impredecible durante los meses de verano. Las nubes de lluvia tienden a aparecer en la tarde y algunas veces nos atraparon en una carrera contra el tiempo (y las tormentas) para obtener una escena antes del aguacero. Nadie quiere tener su rímel corrido en su rostro enfrente de la cámara … a menos que seas Tammy Faye Baker.

    ¿Has estado en contacto con muchas de las personas que han visto el show?

    El programa de televisión ha tenido definitivamente un impacto en nuestra presencia en el mercado. Le ha permitido a Timothy Real Estate Groupllegar a un público más amplio que de otro modo costaría millones de dólares y años en lograrlo. Estamos muy agradecidos y apreciamos la maravillosa oportunidad que nos han brindado.

    ¿Cómo te involucraste en el programa de House Hunters International?

    Al principio, pensaron que yo era el Kardashian perdido, pero cuando les mostré mi estado de cuenta bancaria, se dieron cuenta de que cometieron un error. En realidad, los productores nos contactaron y audicioné para el programa … y el resto es historia.

    ¿Tienes planes para filmar más episodios para el programa pronto?

    Acabamos de filmar nuestro cuarto episodio en Marzo y está previsto filmar nuestro quinto episodio a finales de este verano.

    ¿Cuál ha sido la mayor sorpresa en la filmación para los compradores?

    Todos los compradores han sido fantásticos desde el primer momento. Ellos llegan a ver lo que es realmente hacer un programa de televisión juntos. Al final del primer día se dieron cuenta “este es un trabajo intenso”, pero la compañía de producción hace que sea divertido y son muy complacientes

    ¿Los compradores han disfrutado el proceso?

    Creo que sí. El programa de televisión es realmente sobre los compradores. Tomamos en cuenta por qué aman Puerto Vallarta, donde les gusta pasar el rato, qué actividades les gusta hacer y por qué PV tiene un lugar especial en sus corazones. Ellos son las verdaderas estrellas; nosotros sólo somos sus bonitos accesorios. ?

    ¿Cuándo es tu próximo evento de caridad House Hunters?

    Nuestro segundo evento para estrenar el Nuevo episodio del programa de televisión House Hunters International y para recaudar fondos se llevará a cabo el lunes 24 de Noviembre en el Mantamar Beach Club en Playa Los Muertos. El tema va a ser “La isla de Gilligan”.

    ¿Cómo puede la gente obtener más información sobre el evento y conseguir entradas?

    Abrimos una página del evento en Facebook (presione AQUI) para el evento. La gente también puede ponerse en contacto conmigo directamente a través de mi correo electrónico taniel@timothyrealestategroup.com. Esperamos superar nuestro primer evento para recaudar fondos tan necesarios para nuestras obras de caridad locales.

  • Puerto Vallarta: Provecho

    Buen Provecho!

     

    May is a busy month in Puerto Vallarta, in spite of many snowbirds having left us to go north to tend gardens, measure grandchildren, mow lawns and visit friends and family. One of our longtime favorite events in Puerto Vallarta during this period is Restaurant Week, the longest week in town. It lasts this year from May 15 until June 10! We love it because it give us a chance to visit some of the best establishments from San Pancho all the way down the highway past Conchas Chinas. Prior to this year the week was extended to double itself but for 2018, there are so many participants, it was considered wise to stretch the calendar out. We’re excited and you should be, too!

    Each restaurant in Puerto Vallarta who has chose to partake will be offering three choices with a fixed price. The categories will be $269, $399 and $466, which include appetizer, main course, and a dessert. This is approximately a 40% discount and does not include beverages or tip; a sensible option, since some of us don’t imbibe. Tipping, of course, is up to the individual diner but we always leave at least 20% unless there has been some glaring offense, and we never punish the server for some lapse in the kitchen. A few places are bringing in special wines and will have deviations from their normal menus, a chance for chefs to unleash their talents.

    Restaurant Week is a big deal here in Puerto Vallarta and there are tourists who visit for the sole experience of dining out to enjoy as many selections as possible. It’s a good thing the calendar has been lengthened, since there are seven more restaurants joining in the fun than there were last year.

    This year will be the most participants since the event began in 2005. The previous record was forty-five restaurants in 2012. Our only problem will be how to test out all 59! We are listing them here: Agrodolce, Ambrosia Grill, Archie’s Wok, Azafrán, Barcelona Tapas, Barrio Bistro by Memo Wulff, Boccon Di Vino, Café des Artistes, Coco Tropical, Daiquiri Dick’s, Da Simone, De Cántaro, Di Vino Dante, Eishan Oriental Cuisine, El Arrayán, Florios, Fusión Gourmet, Gaby’s Restaurant Bar, Gaviotas, Hacienda San Ángel, India Gate, Kaiser Maximilian, Katana Sushi & Bar, La Cappella, La Cigale French Bistro, La Leche, La Pancha, La Trattoria, Layla’s Restaurante, Mamá Sirena, Mark’s Bar & Grill, Matiz, Mérida Grill, Mikado, Nicksan, No Way José!, Oso’s Fish Market Restaurant, Pezlimon, Pizzeria La Dolce, Porto Bello, Restaurante Icú, River Café, Roberto’s Mexican Seafood, Sapori Di Sicilia, Seasons PV, Serrano’s Meat House, Sí Señor Beach, SushiPop, Taste Restaurant @ Casa Cupula, Teresa Bar & Bistro, The Blue Shrimp, The Iguana, The Swedes, Tintoque, Trio Mediterranean Cuisine, Tuna Blanca, Vallarta Factory, Vitea Oceanfront Bi stro and Warique Restaurante.

    For more information, locations and prices in each menu category visit the website: www.restaurantweekpv.com.

  • Puerto Vallarta: Summertime

    Summer in Puerto Vallarta

    Spring is upon us, visitors to Puerto Vallarta have hardly dwindled and more people are finding it a place to not only visit, but live during the summer months, which are just around the calendar corner. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to be from May through October for so many reasons. There are definitely less people here but that’s not a caveat. We love not having to wait in lines at theaters, making reservations at restaurants and oh, boy…the traffic. Fewer people translates to a smaller amount of cars on the roads and in town. Less buses and taxis too, which means less noise.

    The rain in Puerto Vallarta is a part of jungle living and it creates the lush, effervescent environment that makes this such a gorgeous place. If you’re into hiking, this is the time to observe the vegetation really taking a stand. The waterfalls are vibrant and full, scents are delicious and the beauty is unparalleled. Oceans temps are balmy and the Bay of Banderas is a safe place for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Rains usually occur at night so pool time isn’t interrupted but if you’re caught in a deluge, don’t fret; it will soon pass. Don’t forget your camera because the light show Mother Nature puts on with lightning is something to behold and capture on film.

    Summertime is a great time for fishermen, with tuna and marlin challenges in July. There will be plenty of competition, but package rates for hotels and flights will be cheaper, with lots of great choices. We recommend either a large chartered boat or one of the smaller pangas (large open skiffs) for a real adventure. Tournaments are fun for landlubbers, too; watching the results come in with weighing and awards is exciting. Puerto Vallarta’s Botanical Gardens are open 9 am – 6 pm but closed on Mondays from April through November. There’s so much to see, with more new additions completed this year. It’s a perfect family outing and their restaurant has a menu with selections suitable for all appetites and diets. Bring your swimsuit; the river is a short hike down the hill with marvelous crystal water and a shallow pool to dip in and swirl around. We make this an all-day-trip. This is also a wonderful time to try a zipline. We recall the construction of the first zipline in Puerto Vallarta and now there are nearly a dozen, from south of Mismaloya to north of Sayulita. They will certainly be less crowded plus normal congestion on highways will be lighter to get to various locations. Terrain will be blossoming and verdant. Low season also means lower rates for many attractions.
