This year's first domestic destination is Roxas City in Capiz.
I've read about its rustic quality, and rustic places always appeal to me. That's why I was so interested to see what Roxas City had to offer.
Even if I just stayed there overnight, the place didn't disappoint. There were a lot of elements that made it feel like a quiet, provincial town. Some parts actually reminded me of Bicol, which is always good in my book.
First, it had a lot of old houses that they turned into shops.
It follows the old Spanish layout where the town plaza is in the middle and is surrounded by a church, the city hall, and a commercial center.
The statues have a vintage vibe to them. Check out this statue of former President Manuel Roxas.
The city's main bridge is about a block long. But it doesn't keep it from being photogenic.
Old churches. I love them. And they have it here.
There's also a rotunda with a water fountain where all vehicles pass through going to the city.
Roxas City is definitely a place I'd like to explore some more. Too bad I only had a weekend there.
But hey, I'll take that as my cue to come back to Roxas City soon.
