Throwback Thursdays on a Friday.
Circa 2011
***
Discovered Iloilo for the first time and many thanks to Cebu Pacific Seat Sales for a hundredth time. haha.
For starters, Iloilo City was our side trip during that time. We were actually headed for Boracay Island however we had a one day idle time so we spent wandering around the highly urbanized city.
***
Iloilo City manifests historical structures inspired by the early Spanish colonial times. Strolling around the city and the distant towns felt like traveling back in the 16th century.
Miag-ao Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
***
San Joaquin Church and San Joaquin Cemetery
***
Iloilo also boasts its gastronomical eats.
To name a few, la paz batchoy, pancit molo, biscocho, barquillos, etc.
So after traveling to the distant towns, we drove back to the city and indulged on a sumptuous delightful snack at Ted's.
Two thumbs up!
Best batchoy I ever consumed! :)
***
More of the city's historical sites.

Calle Real - Downtown Iloilo
Nelly's Garden
Jaro Cathedral
***
After a long day, we headed to SM City Iloilo and pampered ourselves with the help of them little fishes that exfoliated our exhausted feet. :)
***
Estimated damages:
Around <p1,800 round trip ticket Cebu - Iloilo, Kalibo - Cebu.
Food and fares while wandering around the city + Fish Spa at Tibiao Fish Spa, Sm City Iloilo = p150 + p150 = p300.
***
Off to Boracay!
