Manzanillo
is one of the most beautiful beach destinations of the country.
It is located 299 km south of Guadalajara (340 km southeast
of Puerto Vallarta) in the state of Colima. Its climate is
warm with a low humidity and the annual average temperature
lies between 26 and 28° C.
Manzanillo
is known as the ´World capital of sail fish´,
because since 1957 there have been fishing tournaments (national
and international), like ´la Copa Dorsey´, which
made the destination one of the most attractive ones for lovers
of this sport.
On
its beaches with fine sand and a small incline, like Miramar
and La Audiencia, you can practice different water sports
like diving and snorkeling. From a yacht you can watch the
beautiful bays of Manzanillo and Santiago, enjoy the sun or
admire the incredible landscape like the abundant vegetation
which are perfect for practicing ecotourism, camping and other
sport adventures.
In
Manzanillo you can find modern hotel complexes in a Mediterranean,
Moorish and Mexican stile, three golf courses with international
prestige, some of them surrounded by lakes, see and mountains,
which offer all services and infrastructure needed in order
to enjoy your stay and practicing the golf.
In
the centre of the town are numerous restaurants that offer
traditional plates from the Colima kitchen like ´el
ceviche´ or ´el tatemado´, a dish prepared
using the spine of a pig. Furthermore there are markets with
crafts like hammocks and necklaces made of shells, bars and
cafés where you can chat and enjoy the nightlife. Do
not forget to visit el Malecón, el Jardín Obregón
and el Monumento al pez vela!
