Barra de Navidad is just a small country beach town in Jalisco, Mexico. Barra de Navidad has a population of under 6000 people and lies on the Coste Allegre. This small country beach town offers nothing but privacy and peacefulness. Located about 110 miles south of Puerto Vallarta it has many wonderful beaches and the nicest people in Mexico.
Barra de Navidad is a small fishing and farming community. The history of this wonderful little town dates back to the 16th century when Spanish utilized it to construct ships, make repairs to the ships and as a stopping point between there and the Philippines.
There lies a rather big lagoon near Barra de Navidad where fishing boats collect scallops and transportation for vacationers and indigenous people from Barra to Isla Navidad where you will find the Grand Bay Hotel is said to be the best hotel in Mexico by the popular TV Channel that explores travel. There are available water taxis that take passengers from Colmilla to the shore lined with wonderful restaurants.
We are planning to spend Dec 2011 in Barra de Navidada and are wondering how many people from Canada or USA spend more than one month there in the winter
