The taxi fare from the Manzanillo Airport is 590 pesos (approximately 58USD) for the 45-minute ride to town. A little on the expensive side especially if you’re traveling alone. The return trip by taxi from La Manzanilla to the airport is only 400 pesos. That’s a lot easier on the pocketbook.

Mal Agua which in Spanish means bad water, also is a term that people use to refer to jellyfish in Mexico

If you hire a taxi from La Manzanilla to Tenacatita beach, the taxis will encourage you to take a tour at the Raicilla Distillery near Tenacatita. Actually it’s a very interesting tour and you get to sample several varieties of Raicilla, a mellower and home brewed version of tequila. Cost for a bottle is about 28USD

The ice cream vendors at la Manzanilla Beach are now diversifying their repertoire – in addition to playing the famous Alley Cat Tune as they stroll down the beach, they also play Whipped Cream, one of Herb Alpert’s more popular tunes. If you watched the old Dating Game show with Jim Lange back in the 1960s, you may also recollect that Whipped Cream was the theme song for the show.
