We took a standard bus tour that included driving by this hotel where the movie ‘10’ was made.

Manzanillo:
Manzanillo is the most populous city in the Mexican state of Colima and seat of Manzanillo Municipality. The city, located on the Pacific Ocean, contains Mexico’s busiest port, responsible for handling Pacific cargo for the Mexico City area. It is the largest-producing municipality for the business sector and tourism in the small state of Colima. The city has been referred to as the “sailfish capital of the world”. Since 1957, it has hosted national and international fishing competitions, such as the Dorsey Tournament.
