Mexico Travel :: State of Colima
Some of the liveliest burial offerings of the Tomb Culture have been
found in the state of Colima.
The most famous are the 'little
dogs' that perhaps represent the dogs who led the dead into the underworld.
Figurines of warriors brandishing clubs that may depict shamans in ritual
dances have also been found. In 1522, Cortes sent Cristobal de Olid into
the west to find a large island rich with pearls and inhabited only by
women: the mythic Amazonas. He found Colima instead, and the first Spanish
settlement, the city
of Colima, was established in 1523. Cortes founded Manzanillo, originally
named Santiago de Bue-na Esperanza, as a shipbuilding port for his expeditions
to Central America.
Colima and Manzanillo were the only Spanish towns in the region for centuries,
since settlers were attracted by richer mines and farmlands elsewhere.
They were also deterred by the state's frequent earthquakes and the threat
of the Colima volcano, which last erupted in 1913 (and sent out warning
tremors in early 1991).
