What should I pack when moving to Manzanillo?
We asked people living in Manzanillo to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"Because we are on the beach, things of silver or other metals rust. Also art work, if you want to have it for other generations, is difficult to preserve. There are not many things that are not available here, but electronics are expensive, so I would bring computers.(Also they are in the language of your choice)," remarked another expat who made the move to Manzanillo, Mexico.
"Cranberry sauce, other food stuffs that are common north of the border, but not common in a Mexican diet --- bring some; leave the coats and blankets, except one light jacket in good condition and one light blanket for winter. If you travel to San Miguel de Allende, Mazamitla or Tapalpa, the high elevations there will require more warmth so you might take one extra for travel --- these you will not need and in Manzanillo, mildew will ruin them," explained one expat living in Manzanillo, Mexico.
