Michoacan is a state on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Michoacan is a beautiful state. With mountains to the east and the Lazaro Cardenas region Pacific shore to the west, its diversity is unmatched in Mexico. Vegetables and fruit are abundant year-round. The people are proud and friendly. It is said that the biggest export from Michoacan, is its young men who provide millions of dollars in local revenue to support their families, by working in the United States. On the Pacific Coast, the local Nahuat indigenous community is working hard to prevent a Cancún-like resort area from being built by outside speculators. Their "Ostula manifest" also denounces the four lane highway being proposed for their territory.
