10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Puerto Vallarta That You Shouldn't Miss
Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

Majolica Antica is more like a gallery than a pottery shop. The pieces are hand-crafted which is a much better option than the mass-produced ceramics that you find in souvenirs shops all over PV. The staff is warm and friendly, answering questions but without the hard sell. Even if you aren't looking to purchase, its worth stopping by to see the beautiful pieces and charming shop.

We searched out this gallery on my nephew’s recommendation - as an artist, he has very high standards. We certainly were not disappointed. The venue is open, with a rugged sophistication: lots of white plaster, curved walls, interesting windows and the art is modern, a little edgy and very exciting. I particularly liked the sculptures with figures of petrified bone, silver, and small jewels. The same artist also has a collection of jewelry on display. An experience not to be missed.

I have been battling Lyme Disease for years, however, here in Canada this disease does not exist nor do they offer any treatments other than antibiotics, thus I have been suffering for years and going from doctors to doctors at no avail, in fact, getting worse and worse. When I contacted Holistic Bio Spa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, they were very informative and they have asked me to send all my labs and diagnosis. I did and in return, they sent me back a protocol that they suggested that based on their extensive experience would help me. I have liked their approach which was totally different from any of the doctors I went to see and I knew they have the experience and the know-how to help me thus I have decided to go to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 3 weeks. We have done several sessions of Plasmapheresis followed by IVig and we did several sessions of 10 Pass Hyperbaric Ozone Therapy. In between, we have done 100 g and 200 g vitamin C IV’s every day as well three times a week with I have done colon hydrotherapy and three times a week therapeutic massage – Magan is a very nice therapist. They gave me twice a day ketogenic meal with organic, farm-fresh eggs as well as homemade Keefer and Sauerkraut. I was taking CBD every day as well as B-17 IV and a lot of detox and Chelation. They sent my hair in for hair analysis to Doctors Data which came back that I was very high on mercury and lead. I have done once a week the DMPS shots, IM to reduce this heavy metal load. On the last day we have done 300 million pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells. While this was not cheap, I am glad I have done it as I felt much better in two days! Now one month later, my energy is back and I feel like a human being again. Thank you, again, so much holistic bio spa, for your sincere care, knowledge and for your undivided attention to me to have a cure myself of Lyme Disease!
