Manzanillo Mexico Beach at La Boquita
We are finishing our spring yard work in preparing for a return trip to Manzanillo very soon. The leaves are just now fully out, so we should have 90 or so days of uninterrupted summer, gardening, and Alberta bliss.

Manzanillo will be warmer now and the air-conditioner we installed in the El Faro condo last year will be a necessity. Although the average maximum daily temperatures supposedly only vary by 3-4 degrees between summer and winter, the reality is that the summer temps are affected by warmer nights and humidity - the opposite of wind chill!
Summer days, June straight through Sept. Are for the most part cloudy and are called the "rainy season". This pattern of weather in effect moderates the ensue of the temperatures and makes most days very pleasant. Unlike areas in Northern Mexico and the Southern Usa where the summer skies are much clearer and temperatures soar, the summers in Manzanillo become much wetter and tropical. Because the rainy season has this temperature moderating effect, the grocery aisles will include a surprising number of northerners who have made Manzanillo their year around home. in effect visiting in the summer months will not disappoint and will probably include a few gorgeous tropical thunder storms. Dream yourself, dressed in your lightest cottons, and enjoying a fresh plate of dorado (mahi-mahi) under a palapa roof on the beach, with maybe a light warm tropical rain!
We are finding send to enjoying the area known as La Boquita (which means 'little mouth' due to the tidal estuary nearby), a beach settled on the northernmost stretch of Santiago Bay when we return. Manzanillo has a great variety of beaches from lazy quite shallow beaches like La Boquita, to crashing surf where the gulls and pelicans find their daily rations of fish.
On of our beloved hotels has always been Palmas Real restaurant and Hotel. This Hotel is accessible by car from just north of Manzanillo or by walking from La Boquita beach. The gardens are idyllic and can be viewed while enjoying great than average food in the palapa style restaurant. The waiters here have a good sense of humor and we've found it's a great place to take new arrivals for a classy and gorgeous Manzanillo experience.
On the La Boquita beach you can rent an umbrella (sombrilla), or get one free by ordering "pescado sarandeado" (red snapper grilled on a mesquite fire), a beverage of your choice, and then just laze away the day! This beach will have a good quantity of polite wandering merchants, but a quick "no gracias" sends them on their way.
Manzanillo works for us. We are finding send to manufacture this city our permanent home , a dream or foresight that we've had for much of our lifetime. But Manzanillo or any other place would not work without the friendships that we have made and will make while there. Sharing this remarkable quality of life with others who have similar vision, is what makes each day special.
