The city, located on the Pacific Ocean, contains Mexico's busiest port. In the 2005 census the city of Manzanillo had a population of 110,728 and its municipality had 137,842. It is the second-largest community in the state, after Colima, the capital. The municipality covers an area of 1,578.4 km² (609.42 sq mi), and includes such outlying communities as El Colomo, in addition to many smaller communities. Manzanillo is also a beach resort and, as the self-proclaimed "sailfish capital" of the world, hosts a yearly sailfish fishing tournament. The Revillagigedo Islands, off the west coast of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean, are part of the municipality. In 2004 the port of Manzanillo surpassed Veracruz as Mexico's largest port per volume of cargo. Port business experienced a significant surge during the USA's West Coast Lockout in Long Beach, California, in 2002. Manzanillo also hosts the most efficient port for tuna landings in Mexico. The city is also well known internationally for deep-sea fishing and a particular tonality during sunsets that gives the impression of a green ray (yet a lot of people certify they really saw it, mentioning "the green flash"). Manzanillo is a sister city of Flagstaff, Arizona, U.S.A. read full wikipedia reference> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzanillo%2C_Colima OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN MEXICOAcapulco Aguascalientes Boca del Rio Cabo San Lucas Cancun Chihuahua Ciudad Juarez Cozumel Cuernavaca Cualiacan Ensenada Guadalajara Hermosillo Hualtulco Isla Mujures Roo Ixtapa Juarez La Paz Leon Los Cabos Los Mochis Manzanillo Mazatlan Merida Mexicali Mexico City Monterrey Morelia Oaxaca Palenque Playa del Carmen Puebla Puerto Aventuras Puerto Vallarta Quetaro Quintana Roo Rosarito Saltillo San Jose del Cabo San Luis Potosi San Miguel de Allande Tampico Tijuana Toluca Veracruz Villahermosa Zacatecas Zihuatanejo |
