After checking on the website, we discovered that although the cinemas are comparable, the prices at the Galerias are a bit more than other locations. So, today, we took the TUNEL bus to see if we could find the Macro Plaza (mall). The more we find our way around the area, the happier I am that we are here for the whole winter. Only once, years ago, did we pass the Costco on a bus and that was by accident. Now, we have actually discovered that getting to all points at the north side of town, including the cruise ship terminal is much easier and quicker via TUNEL buses. That will be our preferred way to travel to movies and the largest supermarkets during the rest of our stay in Puerto Vallarta. The bus route going through the tunnels is only one block from the apartment.
Macro Plaza includes the newer Walmart as well as the latest Cinamex. Its Walmart is enormous and has a much better layout than the one by the port. We went in to check and ended up doing some grocery shopping again! There will probably be no reason for us to visit the port area, unless we have a few more visitors this winter coming in by cruise ship.
