The church that appears on every postcard of Puerto Vallarta. Built between 1930 and 1940 on the foundations of a 1901 chapel, its red-brick bell tower topped by an iron crown is visible from almost anywhere along the Malecón. Inside, an oil painting of the Virgin by Ignacio Ramírez hangs above the altar. Services in English on Saturdays, bilingual on Sundays.
The real spectacle is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on 12 December, when processions wind through the cobblestone streets with fireworks, mariachi bands, and enough food to feed the whole city.
