Driving from Zihua to Manzanillo

Cars and pickups that teenagers drool over are a bit more risky for jacking than cars and pickup that have teenagers hiding on the floor when driving them to school.

Caleta has two gasolineras. One on either side of town on Mex 200.

Actually there are two gasolineras before Tecoman. The closest to Z is on the right side about 60 Km south, the other is in Cerro de Ortega, about 30 Km before Tecoman. Entering the outskirts of Tecoman there is a gasolinera on your left. Choose it instead of the always jam packed one on the other side of town.

Shortcut (piece of cake)

Entering the town you will encounter a big glorieta TURN RIGHT instead of going straight ahead. Soon a fairgrounds with cyclone fence will appear on your left.

Follow the divided street for 1-1/2 miles until it goes into a "T" entronque. Turn LEFT and that takes you back to Mex 200 about a mile or so. Huge glorieta there as well. Make a right signed Manzanillo.

Saves around a half hour depending on sun, moon, tides, and rush hour. Definitely saves on Tums.
