Museu Picasso is another must visit when in Barcelona. Although there are several Picasso museums, the one in Barcelona is the first and only one established on the express wish of the artist. But as an introduction to the museum, I decided to join the Picasso Walking Tour in order to experience and understand Picasso more by visiting places he frequented in Barcelona during the many years that he

After the activity, I proceeded to Jaro to meet up with Eugene Jamerlan of the Iloilo City Cultural Heritage and Conservation Council (ICCHCC) who took me and HCS Youth members Bernard Arellano and Gian Alvarez on a walking tour of Jaro. We first entered the Locsin House and walked around the plaza towards the Magdalena Jalandoni House.We also passed by the Old Jaro City Hall which is now a police station. Before Jaro and the other districts of Iloilo City were merged together, Jaro was a city itself. Of course there's the Ledesma Mansion, one might say a story of stupidity. They thought that there was treasure buried in front of the mansion and started to dig. As a result, the facade of the mansion collapsed. They did not realize that the treasure was their house.On the way, we bought some Iloilo bibingka from a street vendor. These are flat pancakes about two inches in diameter sold in paper bags of 10 pieces for PHP20. I really like trying out the local street food since it gives y

Part 1 of our Old San Juan Walking Tour series started at La Casita and ended just as we approached El Morro Fort. This article will pick up where the prior one left off.
You can’t help but see the massive Castillo de San Felipe del Morro (”El Morro”) across a large field. This field is [...]
So you decided to spend some time exploring Old San Juan? You will not be disappointed! The old city is a small area, only 7 square blocks. But there is so much to do and see in that small area that you can spend days there and never see everything. Or if you [...]
The route I'm about to describe is actually a favourite jogging track of mine (at least before the builders really started tearing up the road around the golf course and created lots of dust!). However, if you wanted to walk it, it would give you a really good idea of what Puerto Duquesa is all about, beyond the marina. If you are thinking about moving here or purchasing property, it will also give you a good idea of what's available and give you an opportunity to nosey around the different communities, all of which have their own distinct character.StartStarting in the marina, with the entrance arch behind you and the little 'supermercado' on the left, head out of Puerto Duquesa. You'll pass the car park on your right, followed by a relatively new development Mikinos Playa on the left (nice Greek architecture) and then the huge Marina de la Duquesa on the right. This development was met with some opposition when it was first proposed, largely because of its size, but I think it l
