La Manzanilla
La Manzanilla is a small village on the Pacific Coast north of
Manzanillo in the state of Jalisco. We visited La Manzanilla while we were
staying in Barra de Navidad and decided that we would return and stay for a
month. There are no banks in the village and the only grocery stores are small tiendas. We
drove 14 km (9 mi) south to Melaque, the largest community on the coast between
Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, to do most of our shopping.
La Manzanilla’s
main attractions are the beach, water sports (fishing, swimming, surfing,
kayaking), RV camping, La Catalina Natural Language School (link) and crocodile
reserve (hence the statue on the way into town). The place is not well known among
gringos, but is a popular weekend and holiday destination with Mexicans.
