History of Emiliano Zapata
Know the neighborhood
Emiliano Zapata, better known as the Romantic Zone, is Puerto Vallarta's bohemian heart. The neighborhood began as an extension of the original town in the early 20th century when fishermen and merchants built their homes south of the Cuale River.
The official name honors the revolutionary hero, but the nickname 'Romantic Zone' emerged organically in the 1960s and 70s when artists, writers, and travelers discovered its charm. Cobblestone streets, family restaurants, and relaxed atmosphere attracted those seeking 'old Mexico' away from resorts.
The LGBTQ+ community found in the Romantic Zone an open and tolerant refuge since the 1980s. Today it's one of Latin America's most gay-friendly destinations, with dozens of bars, clubs, and businesses celebrating diversity. This openness is reflected in the neighborhood's general atmosphere: artistic, inclusive, and vibrant.
Playa Los Muertos, Vallarta's most emblematic beach, anchors the neighborhood to the south. The malecon connects to the historic center to the north, offering miles of oceanfront promenade with sculptures and public art. For buyers, the Romantic Zone offers Puerto Vallarta's most dynamic and culturally rich lifestyle.
