Ooooh, nice photo! We've hiked up there - such beautiful views of the Ocean, Bay, and Sea! It's a view from Mt. SunSea (English translation ). I can see our timeshare in the photo, too.

It's crazy how much Cabo has grown. I still like the area and we didn't even go to the Cabo Wabo , Squid Row or Giggling Marlin on our last trip.

This plaza and cathedral are off the ordinary tourist track. It is a capital city.

Since no guesses - I'll give the answer.

This is the central plaza in Tepic, the capital of Nayarit. The church is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. I'm not sure what the structure on the left is supposed to be - it certainly looks as if it was never completed, as nothing is connected to that last pillar. Even if it had been connected to the pillar I'm not sure what it would be.

This was taken during our second trip to Mexico, and our first stay in Puerto Vallarta. A couple of days before we departed for Mexico we got an insanely good deal on a rental car from Avis, so we picked up the car and did some driving, just to see the area. The last full day of our stay was Saturday, and we decided to head north and head to Tepic. Saturday is a market day, so there were lots of booths and stands set up in the plaza. You can see some of them in the picture.

Tepic is the closest big city to where the Huichol people live in the Sierra Madre, so they come down on Saturday to sell their goods and crafts. The prices were somewhat cheaper than what the same things are sold for in Huichol art shops in Puerto Vallarta, but I realized the take to the artist must be much bigger. So we bought a few small things.

Nayarit has been called the "breadbasket of Mexico". When you head inland from the Nayarit coast, you enter an area where agriculture is king. Large farms and totally modern. There were a lot of times it felt very much like the San Joaquin Valley in California.

And one final one from this posting flurry. Any one know what church this is?

I'm surprised no one got this one. This is the interior of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Puerto Vallarta.

The arched structure parallel to the road looks like an aqueduct.

 

[simon63]

Yes it is, it was made in times of the spanish conquest to take water to a religious convent.

Yes.

I dont think anyone answered the statue question. Was just watching a mini documentary about John Houston making 'Night of the Iguana' in PV, and that he spent years visiting there. So I'm guessing its him.
