Awarding-winning travel journalist Joseph Rosendo explores Mexico's Costa Alegre - "the happy coast" - and Manzanillo, the resort village made famous by the movie "10". "One Mexican resort is just like another, " many people think. "Lots of sand, sun and greasy bodies."
At first glance Manzanillo may seem to fit that description, but the visitors soon finds it to be much more than just a day at the beach.
To understand the appeal of Manzanillo the traveler needs to know that it is located in the State of Colima, Mexico's fourth smallest state, whose attractions range from colonial history to geological wonders like active volcanoes, to natural settings from jungles to rain forests, as well as, to five star resorts offering excellent cuisine and beautiful beaches.
But, foremost, they must understand that Manzanillo's greatest treasure is its people.
In this half-hour that is part of Travelscope Television's premiere season Travelscope highlights the state and city of Colima, goes deep sea fishing in Manzanillo Bay, whips up some tasty tiritas de pescado with a little help from the locals, joins the on-going fiesta in Comala and discovers some of the Costa Alegre's elegant resorts such as Las Hadas, Grand Bay Hotel and Tamarindo Gold Resort. We soon find out why it is called, "The Costa Alegre -- The Happy Coast."
