If you would like a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Vallarta<\/a>, consider heading a half hour north to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, or \u201cLa Cruz\u201d<\/strong> as it is known in the area, for a memorable getaway. This fishing village on the Pacific Ocean\u2019s Bahia de Banderas retains a mix of low-key local charm while offering enough attractions to keep visitors feeling welcome and entertained.<\/p>\n

La Cruz offers quaint charm with modern amenities<\/h2>\n

Mixing quaint cobblestone streets with brightly colored buildings, La Cruz has a charming old world feel<\/strong>. At the same time, small off-beat shops, an outdoor theater, and plenty of restaurants (featuring locally caught fish) offer a modern excitement. Guests are entertained several times a week when live music fills the streets.<\/p>\n

A Malecon leads the way to La Cruz\u2019s famous Sunday farmers\u2019 market<\/strong> (also known as Mercado Huanacaxtle). The market has grown to over 170 vendors, from culinary to crafty artisans. Live music from local and visiting musicians add to the festivities.<\/p>\n

Of course, the water life is not to be overlooked. Visitors can relax on the three miles of breathtaking beaches<\/strong> or hop in the water for snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, or a number of other water activities. Surfing is best in the winter when the waves pick up.<\/p>\n

A modern marina\u00a0in an old world<\/h3>\n
