During a short, one-day visit from a cruise ship in 2008, and when on vacation here and in Guadalajara in 2010, the old pier was a rather ordinary structure. We liked it. Although not as visually impressive, we loved that one too as folks could and did fish right off the deck.
When we were here in February of 2012, I have no pictures of a pier because there wasn't one! The previous one had been demolished and only some initial work was occurring on the base footings of the new pier.
This, now iconic structure, is a nice addition to Puerto Vallarta. The first time we witnessed it in person was during our trip of last December.
