Overview
Tecomán earns its nickname as the "lime capital of the world" in a lush agricultural region near the Pacific coast of Colima. It's the second most visited town in the state, serving as a convenient alternative to nearby Manzanillo for travelers seeking authentic coastal Mexican cuisine at ramadas (traditional open-air eateries) along the Tecomense coast.

Before you go
Connectivity
4G works well in town; 5G is very limited. Rural areas drop to 3G. Consider this a limited-connectivity destination.
Food
The Mercado Cuahtemoc offers authentic regional cuisine for under M$100. Seafood restaurants along the coast serve fresh catch at ramadas with beach atmosphere.
Safety
Tecomán has historically had high crime rates. Avoid the bus terminal area after dark, don't walk alone late at night, and research current conditions before visiting.
Transport
Taxis are the most convenient option for M$10-20 rides. Buses are cheaper but much slower. The SUSTUS system connects neighborhoods but requires patience.
