Hello fellow travelers, welcome this episode of the Puerto Vallarta Travel show. I am your host Barry Kessler and I am just so happy to be introducing you to my favorite vacation destination, and maybe even yours, Puerto Vallarta Mexico. That music you were just listing to is performed by Alberto Perez, the owner of the La Palapa Group of Restaurants. Those are La Palapa, The El [caption id="attachment_194" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] La Palapa, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico[/caption] Dorado Restaurant, and at night for dinner The El Dorado transforms into the ever so romantic Vista Grill with those dramatic views of the Los Muertos Pier all lit up at night in beautiful colors. Of course, at La Palapa you can enjoy that same view of the Los Muertos Pier all day long for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seated with your toes in the sand right at the water\u2019s edge. It\u2019s so romantic, it\u2019s so Puerto Vallarta my friends! This week we have a very special guest, Lic. Felix Zarate, my friend and Mexican Attorney of Zarate and Law Associates here in Puerto Vallarta, [caption id="attachment_287" align="alignright" width="227"] Lic. Felix Zarate[/caption] and we are going to be talking about immigration but not to the US or Canada, no, we are talking about immigrating to Mexico, but first let\u2019s see what\u2019s happening in Puerto Vallarta this week, the 15th of November, 2017. \xa0 It seems Craft Beer is making a splash in paradise lately with several in Puerto Vallarta Proper. We spoke with one local brewpub, Reid and Miranda at Monzon Brewing Company. Well, as I mentioned last week, there is a craft beer festival planned for this weekend and I told you I would bring on my buddy Edgar to talk about it so let\u2019s go to Puerto Vallarta and hear about it from my amigo Edgar Cisneros\u2026 [caption id="attachment_1876" align="aligncenter" width="615"] Craft Beer Festival PV[/caption] Like Edgar said, there\u2019s so much happening in the local Mexican craft beer world today. Like I said, we have Monzon, There\u2019s Los Muertos Brewery, Cervecer\xeda Yambak from Sayulita, Cervecer\xeda Nebulosa from Brazil, Cervecer\xeda Los Cuentos in Puerto Vallarta, \xa0The Beer Box Prime in Puebla, \xa0Cerveza Minerva from Guadalajara, Euro Cervezas in Mexico City, all these great breweries. I have all the links to their Facebook pages in the shownotes of this episode so check them out. Great Craft Beers here in Mexico! Who Knew? \xa0 https://www.facebook.com/Cerveceria-YamBak-220273431366326/ https://www.facebook.com/Cerveceria-Minerva-Puerto-Vallarta-140614419296847/ https://www.facebook.com/thebeerbox.prime/ https://www.facebook.com/EuroCervezas/ https://www.facebook.com/MonzonBrewing/ https://www.facebook.com/lmbcfvilla/ https://www.cervezaartesanalmexicana.mx/cervecerias-artesanales/los-cuentos Last week I was telling you about an email I got from listener Skip. I have a long show so I just want to answer one of his questions here and it has to do with buses and transportation and it goes like this\u2026. Your podcasts have given me a huge list of options for dining - most of them in the Zona Romantica. In Feb 2018 we are staying in Nuevo Vallarta.\xa0 It was a tradeoff for a great 3/3 oceanfront condo on Airbnb.\xa0 On day 1, I plan to figure out the bus system from Nuevo to Walmart in PV (thanks to JR). Can a person walk to the Romantic Zone from Walmart? I have been on the malecon and to the Cathedral but have never yet seen the Los Muertos pier. It seems that most of what I want to see and do is on Basilio Badillo or Lazaro Cardenas or near by there. Ok, this is a good opportunity to review the bus system and getting around on buses in Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta. \u2026 You can get links to this information with maps and more in the shownotes at www.puertovallartatravelshow.com. http://visit-vallarta.com/essentials/transportation/bus-routes-and-bus-fares/ Thanks for the questions Skip, I have more answers to your questions coming up next week, I promise. Also, Skip was kind enough to send me his pick for one of the ten most unusual things a person should try to do while in Puerto Vallarta, and so if any of you want to pitch in your ideas, come on, and send me some. Thanks\u2019 Skip! Skip understands what this podcast is all about. Write in you guys. It\u2019s easy to do just go to the Contact Us tab at the top of the website and click and send me a message. Okay! Let\u2019s get to our guest\u2026 We hear all the time about how Mexicans can\u2019t wait to get out of Mexico and move north but how often do you hear about North Americans, more precisely Americans and Canadians, wanting to move, or at least become Temporary or Permanent Residents of Mexico? According to census information, there are over one million Americans, US citizens living in Mexico, over 125,000 Canadians at least part of the year. Some of the Americans are in Mexico illegally. Imagine that! I got an email from listener\u2026who wanted to hear about the process of obtaining temporary residency. I told her that I would have my favorite attorney in Puerto Vallarta come on board and talk a little about what's going on today with immigration to Mexico.\xa0So I called Lic. Felix Zarate, he is my favorite Mexican Attorney, and he agreed to come on the show and talk a little about the immigration process. He invited me to his condo in Vallarta to talk so let\u2019s go there right now\u2026.
