Here’s what to watch in Puerto Vallarta and around the bay on Saturday, November 7.

  • Missing-person searches. Una Luz para Nuestros Desaparecidos scheduled a search in Puerto Vallarta for Friday. Watch for the next update on what teams covered and whether state authorities have confirmed any new search activity.
  • Disputed incident at the municipal sports council. Councilwoman Melissa Madero says she was assaulted at the COMUDE offices Thursday. Sports council director William Arredondo denies it. The next development to watch is whether the Jalisco prosecutor’s office confirms a formal investigation.
  • Vallarta’s tourism funding request. Local hotel and business groups are seeking MXN 5 billion for national tourism promotion. A federal committee advanced the 2027 spending bill Friday, with full-chamber debate expected Monday. The question for Vallarta is whether the proposal makes it into the budget.

  • Punta Paraíso in San Pancho. Bahía de Banderas says it will first notify the owners to demolish the damaged tower. If the municipality has to do the work, it plans to seek recovery of the estimated MXN 8.93 million. A start date is still pending.
