Basilio Badillo in Puerto Vallarta, one of the main streets in Old Town, is a staple when it comes to Puerto Vallarta shopping and nightlife. Whether you’re visiting for the first time, or are coming back to enjoy your yearly visit, it’s safe to assume you’ll be coming to enjoy a stroll through Old Town Vallarta.

We’ve put together a small itinerary for you when it comes to enjoying the perfect walk down Basilio Badillo in Puerto Vallarta:

Cafe Catedral KT

We think any good wander begins with a great cup of coffee. Start your adventure with a delicious organic coffee from Chiapas at Café Catedral KT found at #313 Basilio Badillo. Here you’ll find warm and welcoming service, tasty baked treats, a great beverage menu, and some of the best coffee in Puerto Vallarta.

Chantel Vintage Spoon Jewelry & Boutique

Next, head a few doors down to #325 Basilio Badillo to Chantel Vintage Spoon Jewelry & Boutique. Here you’ll find a creatively expanded line of spoon jewelry creations. Each piece is expertly designed with handpicked vintage silverware. Now, as the business has blossomed and grown so have the requests! Clients often bring their own family heirloom silverware for Chantel and her team to be made into custom personal vintage jewelry.

Faith Colectiva

After finding your very own piece of vintage spoon jewelry, cross the street and head further down Basilio Badillo to #314 where you’ll find Faith Colectiva. Browse through this lovely bohemian boutique full of stunning handmade mala bead jewelry, handbags, bohemian clothing and much more.

Delight your senses in smelling and feeling all the wonderful handcrafted soaps, creams, shampoos and other body products at the best smelling store in the city. There is something here for everyone, we guarantee it.

Eccentrica Crystal Jewelry & Boutique

For your last stop on your shopping excursion, head further down Basilio Badillo to the next block, and cross the street to find #257, an extraordinary handmade crystal jewelry shop and boutique called Eccentrica. Browse through a beautiful collection of handmade clothing by local Mexican designers, a wide array of crystal jewelry and stunning home décor. There are few stones you won’t be able to find here, and owner and designer Kimberly McDaniel is always willing to collaborate with you to create a special custom piece.

Margarita Time!

Of course, there are many more shops and galleries on Basilio Badillo to browse through while on your shopping excursion in Puerto Vallarta. These are just a few of our favorites that we love to have as neighbors! Basilio Badillo in Puerto Vallarta is full of all kinds of amazing restaurants and fantastic spots to have a drink too. One of our favorites is Margarita Grill, located at the end of the block passed Eccentrica on the corner of Basilio Badillo and Pino Saurez. Here you can get almost any flavor of margarita you can fathom, and all kinds of yummy Mexican comfort food and other beverages.

Here at the Erica Maree studio, which doubles as a bohemian fashion and accessory shop in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, we believe in the value of supporting artisans whose handicrafts have been made in Mexico for generations. Each one of our pieces is created by hand with heart and soul, and provides fair labor wages for artisans in order to keep the magic of traditional Mexican hand embroidery alive. Join us every other Friday on Basilio Badillo in Puerto Vallarta for the South Side Shuffle: a fantastic live music and shopping event that makes strolling down Basilio Badillo even better!

As always, thanks for shopping handmade!
