Manzanillo

What a great city Manzanillo is!! We spent several days strolling the malecon, impressed by the sculptures,

wandering its back streets and alleys, getting lost on the hillsides when one alley ended in a steep incline of rubble and rock,


encountering interesting signs (yes, one should NOT throw your cats here!! As an aside, unspayed cats and dogs are a serious problem in Mexico, so frequent litters of kittens make it tempting to dump the little critters in a deserted alley hoping someone will take pity on them...more often they become feral and wander free...only to make more kitties!)

Manzanillo is a major port for Mexico, a site of cargo and shipping from around the world, and hosts a busy naval installation. We found it fascinating, even though it is a long bus ride from Las Hadas and further from Bahia Santiago, it is well worth the trip!
