Ed Friend's Highlander Folk School film, 1957: Part 1 (unedited footage)."Integrated in All Respects": Ed Friend's Highlander Folk School Films and the Politics of Segregation (Digital Library of Georgia).In 2017, Puerto Vallarta became our first Gay Travel Approved® city in Mexico and Zona Romantica was crowned as the 2016 Gay Travel Awards Gayborhood of the Year.Collapse all Archival Collections and Reference Resources This was the inaugural year for the award which recognizes global travel and hospitality providers that exemplify the spirit of inclusiveness, as well as innovators that constantly improve their amenities and service levels for the LGBT community.Ĭonsidered by many to be the San Francisco of Mexico, gay tourists from all over the world travel each year to beautiful Puerto Vallarta, an easily accessible, accepting, and a very affordable gay beach destination. Unlike some cities in Mexico focused exclusively on modern day luxury with a distinctly resort feel, Puerto Vallarta offers a little something for everyone. There are luxury accommodations, but Puerto Vallarta has so much more to offer - it is truly all about showcasing the best of Mexico.ĭo you want adventure travel? It's here. A drink at the gay beach? Puerto Vallarta has that too. And it's all set against a rich cultural landscape that seamlessly blends the finest modern amenities with the tradition and history of the Mexico of yesteryear. Puerto Vallarta has more gay English speakers than anywhere else in Mexico, and its year-round beach climate makes LGBT tourists from all over the world flock here. If you're looking for a gaycation you won't soon forget, Puerto Vallarta has it all. Puerto Vallarta is a great place to be gay. You can be naughty and stay up all night, or relax in the shade and sip margaritas. There’s a little bit of everything here, and as such, it has become a go-to beach destination for spring breakers to large groups of gays coming from all over the world. If Puerto Vallarta is the “San Francisco of Mexico,” then consider Zona Romantica the city's Castro district. Packed with dance clubs, more than 20 gay-friendly bars, saunas, gay boat tours, cabarets, a gay beach, a gay bar hopping tour, and a thriving arts and culture scene, it's the official gayborhood in Puerto Vallarta. If you're looking for your time in Puerto Vallarta to be gay-centric, you never have to leave Zona Romantica. Centered in PV's Old Town, Zona Romantica plays foil to the sprawling resorts dominating “Nuevo Vallarta” north of the river. The Mexican colonial charms of the Puerto Vallarta gay zone are similar to San Francisco and Ibiza. The center of the daytime action normally begins around 2pm until sunset at the end of Playa Los Muertos, centered in front of the world famous Blue Chairs Resort. Keep walking until you see the clusters of men in Speedos sitting on blue chairs or lounging on the beach. The newer Mantamar beach club next door offers a great day pass with a large beachfront infinity pool, several jaccuzzis, and fantastic food and service. Northward, Lido Beach club is currently constructing a modern upscale beach club.īlue Chairs Resort, directly behind the beach bar, also has a rooftop bar offering the best sunsets in town – and a hilarious drag show on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays during peak tourist season. The rest of the nightlife is centered around the Old Town's Romantic Zone, with many bars offering a great start to any night. Most are located right on the Olas Atlas road and the crowds spill out onto the street.
