Silvia Rodríguez
The Depth of a Face
From her bedroom turned into a workshop, this 21-year-old Puerto Vallarta female illustrates using different artistic techniques. What began as an interest in pencil drawing and simple lines evolved and move to watercolor and acrylic painting. Today, she focuses on the features of anonymous characters that coexist with nature and evoke deep feelings. 
“I think that there’s beauty in all the faces. My images reflect the features of what I find beautiful, under a specific style that I am developing,” she mentions. 
Silvia signs her illustrations with the name ONCE (“Eleven” in Spanish) since she considers that that number formed by two simple lines represents her first steps within this art.

Enrique Flores
Punk, Rock and Satire
The illustrations of this graphic designer originally from Mexico City but currently residing in Puerto Vallarta, are influenced by his musical tastes, especially the genres punk and rock and roll. His inclination to illustration began during a long stay in Rome, where he was completely immersed in a stimulating environment full of images throughout the city and had the chance to meet professionals that utilize both printing and illustration traditional techniques. His illustrations have a touch of political satire or social criticism, inviting to look carefully at each element. Among his latest creations is the illustration of the Vallarta Pride 2018 official t-shirts.

Emmanuel Hernández
The Power of Letters
Although is unlikely to find designers completely focused on calligraphy, this 22-year-old male graduated from the Centro Universitario de la Costa found his passion in this field. His love for drawing led him to this art that has been practiced since immemorial times and consists in the beautification and deformation of handwriting.  In the last 3 years, he developed La Maldita, his own typography. 
Emmanuel is an illustrator as well. His Instagram profile features an interesting gallery composed of his own typographic designs, influenced by classic and alternative rock and illustrations inspired by literature, including human figures, faces and nature. Black and white are pretty much present in his work, as well as monochromatic and pastel colors. Even though La Maldita represents a crude, critic and direct way to convey, it finds great styling and sensibility.

Majahuitas and Yelapa
The Puerto Vallarta South Shore shelters some of the best beaches in the bay. Majahuitas is ideal for snorkeling, kayaking or paddle boarding thanks to its very calm waves. The beach is clean and the blue hues of the water will make you feel in a dream. A few minutes from Majahuitas is Yelapa, a small coastal town that jealously guard secluded beaches where you can get away from it all.

Tehuamixtle Beach

&nbsp;
Tehuamixtle
 A little further away, in the municipality of Cabo Corrientes, the fishing village of Tehuamixtle is located. The town is well known for its exquisite oysters and the locals refer to this beach as the “Playita del Amor” (Little Beach of Love), because once you get there, you really fall in love! It is so quiet, it feels like if you were in a big, natural swimming pool&#8230; you just have to be there to experience yourself.

This is a peaceful beach that has soft, white sand that makes a beautiful contrast with the turquoise hues of the sea.

 At the other end, north of the bay in Riviera Nayarit, the Coral Island is located. This is a peaceful beach that has soft, white sand that makes a beautiful contrast with the turquoise hues of the sea. You just choose a place to lay or sit down on, place your towel and get the perfect tan while you listen to the swinging waves.

This ecological reserve is protected due to its diversity of marine life and birds, like the famous blue-footed booby

Marietas Islands

&nbsp;
Marietas Islands
 Located as well in Riviera Nayarit, this is one of the favorite spots for the enthusiasts of diving and snorkeling. This ecological reserve is protected due to its diversity of marine life and birds, like the famous blue-footed booby. The Marietas Islands are well known as the home of the “Playa Escondida” (Hidden Beach) or “Playa del Amor” (Beach of Love), which was formed in a crater due to the effects of marine erosion. This unique feature made it famous worldwide.

&nbsp;
Colomitos Beach
 This is one of those places that make you feel in a complete connection with nature, since you have to hike the tropical jungle to get there. Along the road, you will admire beautiful postcards, where the green hues of the trees and the blue of the sea blend into the landscape. Colomitos is a natural retreat with golden sand and emerald green water that invites you to immerse yourself into and splash all day long.

Considerations:
<ul>
<li>Enjoy the experience and don’t forget that our beaches need everyone’s help to stay clean and beautiful, so always carry a bag to pick up, take and place your trash in the proper container.</li>
<li>Keep in mind that weather conditions and each season of the year have an effect on both the conditions of the beaches and the color of the sea.</li>
</ul>
