Capital and principal gateway to the country. A few historical facets and neighbourhoods of varied interest contrast with this gloomy and stifling atmosphere.

Asia

With over 7000 islands, the Philippines offer very diverse landscape in a tropical climate, all year round. Sometimes uneven, sometimes idyllic, it is the country's landscape that gives it all its character. The islands are a reflection of nature in its purest form: dense and luxurious jungle, fine sandy beaches, stunning animal reserve, underground rivers, magnificent diving spots... A trip to the Philippines will trigger a range of emotions and sensations. &nbsp;From the effervescence of Manilla to the hikes nestled within the territory, the change of scene is stunning! Are you ready for your next trip to the Philippines?

The Philippines

Manila

The gateway to the central mountains of northern Luzon, this student city has an eternally spring-like climate and makes for an enjoyable place to visit.

Baguio City

Luzon is the largest of the 7000 islands that make up the Philippines. Mountains, volcanoes, white beaches, tropical forests and an urban jungle - Luzon Island's diversity is mind-boggling.

In addition to its impressive scenery and landscapes, Ilocos Norte offers the promise of exquisite, unforgettable moments to those who venture out to the province. Its beaches, dunes, caves, and its historic heritage – with its churches constructed during the time of the Spanish occupation. I found all this impressive. But what I really fell in love with, the real treasure Ilocos Norte has to offer, was its absolutely lovely inhabitants, who are always happy and willing to spend time with visitors and share their experiences with them. What delighted and intrigued me most is that, as a person of Hispanic origin, I was able to recognise and understand a few Spanish words amongst the torrent of sounds that make up the Tagalog language.
If I had to criticise anything about my trip to Ilocos Norte, it would be the local food. It didn't really offer very good value for money, and if you want good quality food, you have to be prepared to spend more than in other places in Asia, even if prices are still lower than they are in Europe.
