It is situated on a beautiful little bay. In the mid 1500's this bay was used by the Spanish for ship building,repairs and a jumping off point to the Philippines. The photos above do not show all the bay.
After a beer at a beach side restaurant and a walk along the best looking of the local downtown streets we grabbed a taxi and and went a few kilometres to the town called Melaque which is located on the northern side of the same bay as Barra de Navidad.
Just to the right of this photo we ate nachos at a beach front restaurant. Really tasty.
While in Barra Caro had purchased a nice ornament, hand made by the lady who sold it (shown in the photo below). It will be on the Christmas tree next year.
We saw her again in Melaque and asked if she had had more luck selling but she hadn't. Too bad as it takes quite a bit of work to make each one.
We found that we didn't really want to spend more time there so we caught the Primera Plus bus back. It takes close to 90 minutes each way (even though it is close to Manzanillo on the map).
Back home we ate ham and cheese tortas and enjoyed another amazing sunset.
Vanessa has suggested a good Netflix show to see so we may give it a try.
