Manzanillo, Mexico
We have always enjoyed your visits to this charming port city and today was no exception.  Manzanillo has built a new cruise port since our last visit a few years ago and it makes access to the central part of the city quite convenient.
Manzanillo is a charming city located on several peninsulas and isthmuses with picturesque homes winding their way up the city’s steep hillsides. We spent several hours strolling the streets of this town and picked up a few odds and ends, but purchased no souvenirs.  Unlike our experiences on a few of our previous trips to this city, we did not get lost even once!
The city is also the Pacific home of Mexico’s navy and we witnessed their operations during the heavy ship traffic in this busy port. 
If you want to see what a Mexican city is like, free of the pressure of tourist schlock, try Manzanillo.
