Once again, Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón was alive with celebration as the ideal stage for the unveiling of the monumental Catrina.

This Catrina is the centerpiece of the Day of the Dead festivities. It was designed by Alondra Muca, a young artist from Puerto Vallarta, who led a team involved in the preparation of this colossal structure made of metal and a fiberglass skeleton.

Located next to El Faro, this work of art made history for the first time in 2022 when it entered the hallowed pages of the Guinness World Records with an astonishing height of 22 meters and 64 centimeters.

This year, it reappears in a new guise, adorned with a gorgeous dress in dark tones and a striking hat crowning its majestic skull.

Christina Rathke

General manager

Faith Colectiva

“Vallarta Lifestyles has helped us a lot to position our business, the fact that people see us in the magazine has contributed their coming back to Faith Colectiva. Actually, we have measured the reach of our advertising by offering a free gift and it is unbelievable to see them coming with the issue.”

Trio

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”

June Rosen Lopez

Owner

Galería June Rosen Lopez

“When I first opened my gallery in 1986, my relationship with Vallarta Lifestyles started for the need of people to know me and, because it is one of the very few quality publications in the destination, I decided to advertise in it. There are clients that still remember me for the magazine, with whom I have had several years of relationship.”
