Comala is located 6 miles north of Colima. The name Comala comes from the Náhuatl word, comalli and means place where they make comales, the clay griddles that are still in use today. The area has been populated by the Náhuatl, Toltec, Chichimec, and Tarasca indigenous people.

Comala is known for its furniture builders and other crafts including painters and wrought iron work. The town's cobblestone streets, red-tiled roofs, whitewashed buildings, numerous restaurants, and views of the volcanos make it a picturesque attraction to travelers. A number of restaurants flank the central plaza where it is not unusual to see a mariachi band strolling through the sidewalk cafes.
