There’s no doubt tequila is Mexico’s most representative spirit but there are also other distilled beverages of long tradition in the history of our country, which are starting to gain popularity, such as mezcal and raicilla. The later is produced in the western part of Jalisco and that’s the reason why it is easily found in restaurants, bars and establishments all along the coast of the state and also in Riviera Nayarit.

In order to honor and promote this pre-Hispanic spirit, the Puerto Vallarta’s city government and the Puerto Vallarta’s Institute of Culture will celebrate the Dama Juana Raicilla Festival, a 2-day cultural event to take place this weekend at the Cuale River Island.

The festival will feature tastings, conferences, talks, art contests, live music and the exhibition of the documentary Los Caminos de la Raicilla (The Paths of Raicilla).

If you enjoy Mexican gastronomy, tequila or mezcal, do not miss the opportunity to attend this celebration, get acquainted with the process of elaboration of this spirit and discover its flavor.

“Advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles has been one of the best decisions we have made for the benefit of our business, because it has always helped us reach our prospects accurately. The magazine’s distribution throughout the destination is unique and strategic, as it reaches readers who are the type of clients we are looking for.”

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people  —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."
