PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Manzanillo
01
Use Manzanillo historic core as the orientation base, then group Manzanillo historic anchor and Manzanillo market and food route before crossing to the other side of Manzanillo.
02
Give Manzanillo waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Manzanillo regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Manzanillo regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
