La Cruz is the home of the most modern and luxurious marina on Mexico’s Pacific coast, where you can find some restaurants. You can enjoy the typical dishes on the papala restaurants along the beaches of Manzanilla, Piedra Blanca and Arena Blanca, or in the restaurants in the town, where you can dine on dishes of freshly caught fish, creations that have been a culinary tradition of this town. A few steps from the marina, is the main plaza, with its traditional kiosk, and you can stroll along the cobblestoned streets with clubs, cafes and a restaurant that is also a Huichol art gallery that supports indigenous communities.The Festival of the Patron Saint of La Cruz take place every May 3rd, the whole town celebrates while the bells in the small church toll, and the streets are filled with stands that offer food and traditional games, and the sky is painted with the colors of fireworks.

One of a kind experience is to visit in the morning the “Mercado del Mar”, and watch the arrival of the fishermen with the catch of the day. On Sundays, from October to April, there is the “Tianguis Artesanal” a market with handicrafts and organic products.

This fishermen town is a tropical paradise.
