About San Blas (Mexico)
During Mexico'scolonial era, San Blas was established as a port city with connections to theSpanish Empire's Asian outposts viaManila. During this era,Acapulcowas the primary commercial port while San Blas took on the role of primarily serving the Spanish armada as a military base and a shipyard for repairing naval vessels. (The town still has a naval base, and visitors may sometimes see patrol boats going in and out of the harbor.) At one point San Blas was earmarked for tourism development. The town (and beach) are plagued by small biting no see-ums, and as a consequence no mass-scale tourism happened.
