Siesta
Siesta in Puerto Vallarta is from 2:00PM to 4:00PM and you will find some businesses (not bars & restaurants) closed during those hours, but they will stay open after siesta till 8:00 or 9:00PM. Siesta is becoming far less common in town
Sunday Evening in Puerto Vallarta
After sundown on Sunday families, groups of boys and separate groups of girls, dressed in their best, will promenade up and down the Malecón (sea front walk). The groups of young people will be making eyes at each other as they pass.
This is also a time for families to get dressed up and go meet their friends, sit , chat and watch others walk by. There will be vendors selling anything from roasted corn on the cob to brightly coloured windmills and [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/DEBBIE%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image001.gif[/IMG]balloons.

Garbage Collections
When you see bags of garbage on the street corner, don't think that this is a sign of a trashy place. The garbage is collected every day (including Sundays & Holidays). The following should go into my Fables and Rumors page:-..." it is put out on the street corner when the sound of a 'cow bell' is heard."You may see this guy who runs, and I do mean runs, down the street ringing a 'cow bell'. This guy used to come by my bedroom window at 6AM EVERY morning! I kinda miss him... NOT!
The truck now comes by after 9PM (except for restaurant areas) without the cow bell. You're not meant to put the garbage out before 9PM.
