According to Vallarta Opina, the idea is “to consolidate the Malecon as a family space, and bring life to it during daytime” said Salvador González Reséndiz, mayor of Puerto Vallarta.
Renting bikes programs are now a common practice at important cities around the world, like Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and Mexico City. Renting strollers is normally used at malls and shopping centers. Adding kayaks is a distinctive touch for a beach destination like Puerto Vallarta.
The program is called “Ven a Vivir el Malecon con tu Familia” (Come to experience the Malecon with your family) and it’s important to highlight that the service will be completely free of charge.
