Bucerias is only 10 miles north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. Quiet, relaxed and a little less expensive than the larger cities. This small and charming village is not without all the conveniences you require for fun and a most enjoyable vacation. The typical main plaza is just a few short steps from the broad, 14 km sandy beach with numerous seafood restaurants and seaside clubs for dining and relaxing, some with live music. Bucerías is also an up-and-coming investment opportunity both in condo developments and bed & breakfasts. Home to the Virgin of Peace, the seaside festival is a focus of one of their annual festivals in mid-January with special blessings for the participating local fishermen and their decorated seagoing craft.
