Liverpool & Galerias Vallarta

Liverpool Puerto Vallarta 
Liverpool 

Little by little, more stores are opening in the new mall, Galerias Vallarta. Hang Ten, Scappino, and The Athlete’s Foot opened this past week. The restaurant in Liverpool has a fantastic view overlooking the cruise ship terminal. We didn’t try the restaurant because we didn’t feel like waiting but the prices are fair and we will give it a try some other time.

Based on the amount of people in Liverpool it looks like the mall is going to be a huge hit. When I am in the mall I don’t feel as though I am in Vallarta. It feels more like I am in Guadalajara or Mexico City.

Galerias Vallarta

After nearly a year’s wait, Galerias Vallarta and its anchor store Liverpool have opened for business. Vallarta now has an upscale shopping center that will rival any shopping center in Mexico. Shops that are currently open are: Liverpool, an upscale department store, United Colors of Benetton, and the handbag store Tous. The remaining 70 plus stores are scheduled to open over the next two months just in time for the holiday season.

Do they hide something? If yes, what is it?

We shot a picture of this security guy taking a nap right in the entrance of Galerias Vallarta Parking Entrance. Just after that, another guy standing 50 meters from him, tried to wake him up by yelling something at him, then while we were passing by and taking pictures, he woke up and started walking towards us. He said that we could not take pictures of the building or anything on their territory.

WHAT!? Yes, we had to leave with our tail between our legs in the hope that maybe another day when they aren’t so aggressive we can go and shoot some nicer pictures.

Anyways, here are the pictures and if you have any idea WHY it isn’t allowed to take pictures… PLEASE comment!
