Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Last Sunday, the Mayor of Bahia de Banderas, Rafael Cervantes Padilla, accompanied by the local chairperson of the System for Integral Family Development (DIF,) Maria del Refugio Gomez de Cervantes, held inauguration ceremonies for the official opening of the "Patinolandia" ice rink.

In an atmosphere filled with lights and traditional winter images, the Mayor brought to mind area residents' dream of ice skating during the Christmas holidays as is enjoyed by people in other parts of the country.

This is the second time that the ice rink has come to our region for the holidays, and the Mayor expressed his appreciation for everyone involved in making the "Christmas miracle" happen for all of the people of the Banderas Bay area.
