Market day on the Comala Square
It is not only the Volcano of Fire (Volcan de Fuego) that dominates the area nor the Magic Zone (Zona Magica) where cars seem to roll uphill that have given Comala the designation of Pueblo Magico. Comala, approximately 70 miles north of the Manzanillo airport, so exemplifies the Mexican spirit that it is only befitting that this enchanted village full of legends, history and charm graces the ever-growing list of Mexico’s magical towns.

This White Town of the Americas gets it name from the griddle used to make tortillas. Neat whitewashed homes with red-tiled roofs line the cobblestone streets of Comala. Look in any direction and then imagine a frame around the view. You will have a perfect picture for remembering this charming city.

The local mask makers, wood carvers and basket weavers keep folk traditions alive. Natural beauty, native poinsettias, picturesque villages and gracious hospitality combine to create a magical experience well worth the visit.
Poinsettias are native to the Comala area.
