Melaque/San Patricio/Villa Obregon is a conurbation of three villages in Jalisco that is the largest thing between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo.
The Playa. The main square. The plastic market.
- Día de San Patricio, Downtown. The town referred to as Melaque, is actually three towns seamlessly joined together: Melaque, Villa Obregón, and San Patricio. St. Patrick is the patron saint of San Patricio as in many other towns in Mexico. They all have a Saint Patrick's Day celebration but perhaps the biggest celebration is the Melaque, Jalisco, March 17 celebration. Festivities begin about a week prior with the Fiesta del Torros which includes rodeo events, bullfights, carnival, parades, blessing of the fishing fleet, folk dances, boxing matches, and nightly fireworks.
