Carcar City Trip

Carcar City Rotunda

It was a gloomy weekend on February 2011 when one of my officemates organized a road trip going to the southern part of Cebu - my first trip with my DSLR camera. This was some kind of a heritage tour which includes visiting old churches, town landmarks and ancestral houses. First on our list was Carcar City.

Carcar is located approximately 40 kilometers from Cebu City. We took a bus ride from the Cebu City South Bus Terminal and we arrived after 45 minutes in the downtown area.

The city is known for its old houses which are mostly of Spanish and American design showing that the place is really rich in culture. Even though Carcar is already considered a city, the townspeople have been successful in preserving most of the ancestral houses along the national highway despite the fast emergence of commercial centers.

A few of our destinations were St. Alexandria Church, Balay nga Tisa, the famous Rotunda and their shoe retail outlet.

This was my first time to have a walk in Carcar and took photos with my friends. This is only just the start of our heritage tour in the Southern part of Cebu.

Oh wait! I forgot to mention their delicious delicacies like "Ampaw" and "Chicharon". If you want to try and taste it, visit Carcar City now!
