Comala, Colima Mexico

I have not lived there but I visited once. It is just as you describe. A very small, quaint peaceful town on the steps of Mt Colima. The worst danger would be Colima erupting as it is constantly active and smoking. The city of Colima is large and has everything you could want from modern society as well as some expats (if one wishes contact with them).

Hello- I know that much time has passed since your original post, but I am curious to know if you ever moved to Comala--- I am looking for a peaceful place just as you were, and I recently started to investigate Comala. If you have anything to report as a follow-up, I'd be interested in knowing about it.
Thanks, Dennis~

Hi Itobys,

I was in both locations for a couple days about two years ago. Both were lovely, a small town and a small city, clean with plenty of restaurants.

It would be a nice place to live and have a garden. some animals, etc.

I read recently that Comala receives 400,000 tourists every year. Is this even remotely possible? I suspect it was a misprint! Any comments?

I suspect that it is a misprint given that crime in the general area has increased. But the crime focus is aimed at natives more than tourists. The pandemic hysteria globally has impacted the tourist industry everywhere which doesn't help. And of course Cartels, they have not taken a vacation after all.
