The other side of Puerto Vallarta

A short side trip through Puerto Vallarta's Pitillal section and to the village of La Desembocada gave a look at the "real" people of this area.
I didn't have nearly enough time or freedom of movement to do it justice, but the warmth and friendliness of these people and the difference between the tourist/hotel/shopping district and these areas was very apparent (and welcome).

I haven't been there but have been to similar places, but have almost forgotten the aura of places like that. Your pictures brought it right back to me. Thanks for the gallery.
