Overview
Manzanillo is a Pacific resort city in Colima state, often called the 'sailfish capital of the world' since hosting fishing competitions since 1957. The city stretches across two crescent-shaped bays, each about 6.5 km long: the older Bahía de Manzanillo near downtown and the upscale Bahía de Santiago to the west.
