One of Puerto Vallarta's many statues, it depicts a boy riding a giant sea horse while waving to passers-by.

The promenade along the front of the town has bronze sculptures placed at various points along it. They are all very unusual and beautiful. There are also a set of bronze “ chairs” that are very unusual. A great place to visit with an eclectic mix of shops

This is the place where so many get proposed to. The man and woman are the couple and the dolphins are life and family.

This monument, which sits above the city atop a large hill, is dedicated to Pipila, an Indian miner who was killed after taking up arms against the Mexican government in an Indian revolt.

Don't miss this spot! Th easiest way to get to the Monument is to take the funicular from Jardin de la Union (about a block away) to the top. The view from the area around the top of the funicular offers a spectacular 180 degree view of the Guanajuato valley, with colorful houses stepping up the hillsides. The funicular is 36 pesos each way (you can ride up and walk down, like me, or ride both ways). You can then climb to the top of the Pipila statue for an additional 7 pesos or so, which makes the view even better. There are some vendor stands selling snacks and trinkets, similar to what you'll find elsewhere in GTO. I spent a good hour up there and really enjoyed it.

This beautifully ornate church, built in 1690, is one of the city's oldest structures.

Zapopan is a small gem in the middle of Guadalajara. It's small and quaint. I wish I had had more time to explore this area. I'm looking forward to going back and eat in one of the many restaurants and look at the shops. I was so taken with this area I'm going to book a hotel here next time I visit Guadalajara.
