When the Pelgrims arrived in Cape Cod my family was already here in Florida and I love Florida. One must understand that the oldest city in the United States of America is San Agustine in Florida and that five flags have flown over the city since 1565. Today I'm glad my parents did not focus only on the negatives of 1565.

Focus only on the negative, and you will never experience the beautiful colonial architecture, diverse natural wonders, endless beaches, and fantastic weather that Puerto Vallarta can offer. When I am there sharing it with 2.1 million foreign tourists who spend about $11.6 billion every year I feel at home.

The new homes for sale in Puerto Vallarta are in places of contrasts framed by the towering mountains, exuberant vegetation, relaxing beaches, sparkling sunshine, rivers and the brilliant clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. The region surrounding the Bahia de Banderas, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in all Mexico and the second largest natural bay in North America, it is a haven for anyone who enjoys any type of beach activity and with sunshine 320 days a year.

Puerto Vallarta is a popular tourist destination that retains the traditional Mexican pueblo flavor, while providing modern infrastructure, conveniences, entertainment, and lodging facilities it is also provides a great real estate investment oportunity.
