Why you should visit Bolinao and visit it NOW
People
have talked and written about Bolinao countless times. In the Internet alone,
numerous bloggers have shared their experiences and unforgettable moments in
this dazzling town in the province of Pangasinan.
Getting
bombarded with stories about the place, perhaps it is time that you finally
pack your bags and visit the town.
Taking
public transport, you will reach Bolinao in approximately five hours and a half
from Manila. Bus trips from terminals in Pasay City and Cubao, Quezon City are
available daily. Just remember to check the schedules while planning your trip.
Surely,
though, your trip will be shorter if you are to use a private vehicle. Just
make it sure to thoroughly check your car or SUV before hitting the road as a
precaution against inconveniences.
What to expect
You
will not be staying forever in Bolinao, so, just like what we always say when
travelling, “make the most out of it!” Explore every corner and discover more
adventures than what others have unearthed.
Upon
arrival on the town proper, do not forget to visit St. James the Great Parish,
a church built by the Augustinians in 1609. Some parts of the building had been
restored like the belfry, but the walls have been left untouched.
