Manzanillo: During the colonial era, Manzanillo Bay was the launching point for various expeditions; Cortez sought refuge here to protect his galleons from Portuguese pirates. Today, the city is the busiest port in Mexico and a thriving beach-resort destination. With big-purse fishing tournaments held in November and February, the city is also known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.”
