Puerto Vallarta – No finer place than Los Mercados

  Peter and Bea van der Voort are the parents of our daughter-in-law, Sophie.They live in Puerto Vallarta, which on its own merit was reason for us to come to PV.  But the reason YOU need to see them is the business they just opened - Los Mercados.  Just off the Malecon, it is an amazing concept where the beauty of the space draws people in…and once in, you’ll find many reasons to spend a part of your day (and a few of your pesos) there. www.losmercadospv.com

Los Mercados offers fabulous coffee, fresh baked goods, produce, fresh made sausages, deli items and wine/spirits in the lower level shops. 



Bea, Peter, Terry Klaus and Tom in "Fireworks!"



Upstairs is Bea’s studio called “Fireworks!”.  Here, you could purchase pieces of pottery Bea has created (I did).  But even better, Fireworks is where you paint your own ceramics.  She has all sizes/shapes of plates and bowls – and Bea has the paints, brushes and will help with technique, if you wish.   What a wonderful way to spend a morning – by yourself or with friends.  She’ll fire your creation and have it ready for you in 3 days.  I had a wonderful time making Tom’s Valentine’s Day present.
