| Concepcion, Iloilo |
Iloilo is one of the provinces occupying the Panay island in
Visayas. It is known for its old Spanish churches where one is declared as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site, island destinations and of course the origin of La
Paz Batchoy.
How To Get There
Iloilo can be reached by plane from Manila and travel time
takes 1 hour. There are also flights from Cebu, Davao, Hong Kong and Singapore
via Cebu Pacific. For the flight schedules, visit cebupac’s website.
Note: Iloilo guide maps are available at the Tourism desk
inside the Airport.
Where To Stay
We stayed at a budget hotel, Urban Inn, located near the La
Paz Public Market. We chose this hotel due to its accessibility to public
transportation. It’s also decent and very affordable; we got our room for 560/night/person
with free breakfast. The room was clean, so are the sheets.
