Colima Vacation Guide
The city of Colima is the capital and main city of the Mexican state and municipality of the same name.
It is one of the oldest cities in Mexico.
Following the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521, the Spanish conquistadors were quick to reach the west coast. Colima's native king (Spanish: Rey Colimán) organized the defense of his kingdom against the Spanish. [1]
In 1523 the conquistador Gonzalo de Sandoval founded the first Villa de Colima in Caxitlán, near modern-day Tecomán.
