Lat 19 06 058, Long 104 20 693, 33 miles south of Barra de Navidad. We left Friday with 3 of our friends EagerDreamer, Suebee, and Kat den rei for a short trip to Las Hadas in Manzanillo Bay. Manzanillo Bay is one of the largest commercial ports on the Mexican coastline.
We anchored outside of the Las Hadas Marina and Resort. The hillside resort and homes were mostly white and reminded one of pictures of Greece. Las Hadas Hotel is known for the movie "10" filmed in the 70's on the grounds. The anchorage was calm with cool winds in the evening. Two of our other friends Lovely Rita and Eyes of the World were also in the anchorage. We had not seen them since Mazatlan.
They men came through with a wonderful Valentine's Day for the women. We were first treated to happy hour on Kat den rei's boat, and then dinner at Paradise Restaurant, which had a beautiful view of the bay. We were serenaded throughout the evening by mariachis.
During our stay we snorkeled and kayaked. Angel also had a chance to have some fun with our friend Kinsey.
Manzanillo has 2 different sections, the old town and the new town. We visited old town. The homes on the hillside were brightly painted. The mercado had local vegetables, fruit
s, meats, poultry and fish. We were the only gringos in the mercado.Manzanillo Bay is the furthest south we will go this season. We have arrived back in Barra and will stay here a couple more weeks.

Wonderful pictures of Manzanillo! Great color!
Really in a single visit, you can unveil so many fun loving activities like surfing, swimming, snorkeling, hiking, fishing and many more. Therefore, book some good accommodations over the Troncones to witness the serenity of this place.
