This March the Tianguis Turístico 2012 will be held in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit; the official logo was presented a few days ago and here is a brief explanation:
The significance of the logo goes back to elements of our culture, colors and forms give a characteristic symbolism where the ring represents the emblem element of the ball game, a ritual that extended for about 3,000 years of Mesoamerican and Pre-Columbian history. Inside the ring are elements such as a pyramid, representing our culture and roots, leaves representing the natural characteristics of our country; the hands that symbolize negotiations; five diamonds that represent the quality of the touristic destination and Mexico itself; and the waves representing the sea as the symbolism of the event being held in a beach resort destination.
Once again Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit want to show they are a cultural destination, with excellent service and worthy of hosting international events such as the Tianguis Turístico.

Este marzo el Tianguis Turístico 2012 tendrá lugar en Puerto Vallarta y Riviera Nayarit, el logotipo oficial fue presentado hace unos días, aquí una breve reseña.

El significado del logotipo remonta a elementos de nuestra cultura, los colores y forma le dan un simbolismo muy característico en donde el aro representa el elemento emblemático del juego de pelota, ritual que se extendió a lo largo de los 3,000 años de historia precolombina mesoamericana. Dentro del aro elementos como la pirámide, representando nuestra cultura y raíces; las hojas, representando la naturaleza característica de nuestro país; las manos que simbolizan las negociaciones; 5 diamantes para representar la calidad turística del destino y de México mismo y las olas representando el mar como simbolismo de la realización del evento en un destino turístico con playa.

Nuevo malecón en Puerto Vallarta

En estos días de locura, como cada año, pasamos la mayor parte del tiempo pensando en los regalos, en la cena, en los festejos y posadas. Pero ¿qué significado real tiene la Navidad? La Navidad es una de las fiestas más importantes para los crisitanos, se celebra el nacimiento de Jesucristo. Pero esta celebración ha sido adoptada por todo mundo como renovación, alegría, amistad y amor compartiendo con nuestros seres queridos un momento especial donde los regalos, la cena y la fiesta pasa a segundo plano y realmente nos unimos de corazón.
Prudential Vallarta les desea felices fiestas, que la paz, el amor y la prosperidad llenen sus hogares y que este próximo año 2012 sea el inicio de una nueva era de éxito y felicidad.

Se acercan las fiestas navideñas y para estas fechas como siempre los gastos se disparan. La situación económica nos invita a la reflexión y el ahorro. Aquí le dejo tres hábitos básicos para ahorrar en sus compras Navideñas.

Para evitar que gastos inesperados perjudiquen nuestra economía lo mejor es adquirir tres hábitos básicos para las compras navideñas: planificar, comparar y escalonar.

• Planificar sus compras. Para ello hay que elaborar una lista con los tres grandes ámbitos del consumo navideño: alimentación, regalos y juguetes. Es importante saber que busca y de esta manera atajar compras impulsivas.

• Comparar buscando los mejores precios. Busque con anticipación ese producto que quiere consulte precios en internet y en varios establecimientos. no todos los productos están de oferta en el mismo momento ni en el mismo lugar.
• Escalonar compras y gastos. Hoy en día el periodo de la campaña Navideña es cada vez más amplia y en muchos establecimientos comienza a mediados de noviembre. Reparta sus compras y aproveche las oportunidades que surgen a lo largo de ese periodo. Por ejemplo, adelantar la compra de algunos regalos esto puede llegar a traducirse en un importante ahorro.

Espero estos consejos le sean de utilidad. Hay que planificar con tiempo y no dejar todo para última hora, nuestro bolsillo nos lo agradecerá.

Dear Ignacio:

Thank you for representing me in the purchase of my condominium in Puerto Vallarta. As a 30 year expert investor and real estate professional, I am very familiar with all the procedures transactions take. Your work ethics and your knowledge of the market is impressive and remarkable. You made the purchase of my condominium very smooth and I appreciate the effective communication I always received form your office staff. I would recommend you in a heart bit to anyone who is interested in investing in Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta; you have gained a loyal customer and a new friend.

Thank you again for everything Ignacio.

Sincerely, Alfredo Zavala

There are many things that are life-changing in this world, but other than the major occurrences like births, deaths, marriage and divorce, purchasing electronics can totally send you off in another direction.

We used to ask ourselves what did we do before we had computers, then internet, and now it is BB smartphones-playbook, Apple ipad-pod-phone and Android-everything.   The information highway has a new speed limit and it now allows you to travel at warp-speed to anywhere you want to go.

Whether you are a stay-at-home-mom, a big business tycoon or something in between, you want to stay connected.  Young people today have no concept of a world before cyberspace.  For others, we’ve come a long way, baby.  There is something for everyone and anything.  Travel gadgets that you just can’t live without or, get this, a watch mobile phone  for those who can’t be bothered.

Whatever your level of cyber-smarts, remember, what happens in Vegas, stays on Facebook… forever.

To Whom It May Concern:

Grace Ramirez was a true asset in the sale of my condo and during the weeks following till I was completely out and gone. The buyer caused a few turmoil’s in the transaction that were not to my liking, but Grace was there to keep the peace and calm the storm for both sides.  She is upfront with her thinking, honest, responsible, considerate, on time, and a pleasure to be around. 

I was at a loss as to what to do with my blind, 17 year old cat. I was unable to take him with me after I moved out of my condo. Grace was thoughtful and kind enough to find him a home. She even took him herself to his new home, checked on him about 2 weeks later and let me know how he was doing.  To add to that – I needed someone to drive with me to the US.                  

She found me a very reliable driver – unbeknownst to her, I already had someone.  I don’t know of any realtor who would go that far out of their business way to do all that.

After relating my experience to my friends in Nuevo Vallarta, I have had several requests for her E-mail and phone number.

Thank you – Grace – for being my realtor.

Everything is as usual for the month of October after the threatening storm that had been lingering for more than 48 hours “Jova”.

There are sunshine and blue skies in Puerto Vallarta and the whole Bay of Banderas.

We are all relief that the Hurricane lost strength as it entered land and the magical Sierra Madre Mountains lowered its tremendous winds. It gracefully went away leaving little or no rain behind.

In difference to Kena, this time we were all prepared and ready. Services continued as normal, there were no power outs or lack of water services.

We are all extremely thankful that our area was safe from any drastic impact from what at some point was considered a Hurricane degree 3.

We invite everyone to visit us as the weather begins to change and cool morning breezes are felt throughout the Bay.

Remember we are here to help you find your piece of Paradise.

The Parapan American Games are the Pan American competitions for athletes with certain physical, mental or sensorial disability. They took place for the first time in Mexico City in 1999, with the participation of one thousand athletes from 18 countries in 4 competitions.

A motivating factor for the participants is that the Parapan American Games are a qualifying event for the Paralympic Games.

This year the games will be held from 12 to 20 November in Guadalajara, with an estimated one thousand 500 athletes who will compete in 13 different sports. Twenty-six countries will be present in this new chapter in the success story of the Parapan American Games.

The participants of these games are well-aware that their performance and results are key for their classification for London 2012.

These are the categories:

• Goalball
• Judo
• Boccia
• Table tennis
• Swimming
• Cycling
• Fotball 5
• Powerlifting
• Wheelchair basketball
• Wheelchair tennis
• Archery
•  Athletics
• Sitting volleyball

The effort and tenacity of these athletes is really remarkable. Their disabilities are no obstacle to stand out and be the best sports people in their categories.

Well done!!
