Naga Penafrancia Festival Photos: My First CamSur Experience

I admit, I mostly got curious about Camarines Sur after it became one of the Philippines’ top travel destinations. I just had to find out what the fuss was all about. I finally had the chance to visit Camarines Sur during my weeklong trip to Bicol last September, which was great timing since it was the tercentenary celebration of the Peñarancia Festival in Naga City. Witnessing the Peñafrancia Festival, the largest Marian devotion in the country, was my first agenda after arriving at the Pili (Naga) Airport.

Aliwan Fiesta, the Second Time Around in 2010

Post a Comment |

Every April, a couple of festivals representing provinces and cities from all over the Philippines gather at the nation’s capital to perform their local dances during the Aliwan Fiesta. In my opinion, there aren’t any other time where one can witness a more diverse sense of Philippine culture than the Aliwan Fiesta so I’ve always made it one of my biggest agendas in my travel calendar. It’s now my second time experiencing the Aliwan Fiesta and, sans the almost unbearable summer heat, it was so worth the airfare!
