I haven’t seen that many lighthouses in my lifetime (I think the only one I’ve ever seen is the one at The Greenery in Bulacan!) so it’s good to know that the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse is there for people like me to see and appreciate. It’s great that they have preserved its beauty after almost 125 years! Wow! There must be something so special about it that it has been taken care of very well. And it’s so cheap to see it too! PHP 20 is not bad at all!

As a child I wanted to work in a lighthouse 😀 There was something luring in an idea of spending the time alone surrounded by the sea. Luckily I have never realized those dreams because they do not look that nice anymore. It sad though that most of the lighthouses are not operating anymore. It is great that this one was turned into a museum so it is still alive in a way.

What a fun trip! I’d love to go there and see this in person… There’s something about lighthouses that I love. There just seems to be so much history in each one. I go every summer to Northern MN and see the lighthouses and take a gazillion photos of them while breathing in the fresh air. It’s amazing!
Maybe some day I can venture that way and look at those stunning views you captured through your photos.

I’ve been to Ilocos a couple of years ago, but we literally just went pass by the region. We drove from Apayao to Abra taking the North loop, (Cagayan Valley to Apari to Ilocos) but didn’t have time to stop at any Ilocos attractions. Only saw the lighthouse from a far. Your post makes me want to go to Ilocos now! 😛

Light houses also have the same effect on me. I like the fact that they were built to be a beacon – guide those travelers. They stand majestically and are so beautiful to look at.

Would you believe it when I tell you than in my over two decades of existence in this world, I have never seen a lighthouse before? Well, I think I have never seen one. Or maybe I have seen one but it didn’t leave an impression on me. Maybe it’s not as valuable and as beautiful as the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse. 🙂

I’ve been thinking of going to Ilocos once we had a vacation but I am thinking if it’s really worth the travel. We had a 1yr old baby and I always make it a point to see if the place (and the travel) is child friendly. The place looks really cool but I am not sure if it’s still the same with the baby. I guess the tour with be more difficult if it’s there’s island hopping in the itinerary. i think I need to learn to settle on land travel first.

This is the time that I will tell you to take me with you in your next travels! Hahaha! But seriously though, I think your taste in traveling is similar to mine. Well, I do love going to places like this one because it educates and also enlightens us (your audience) about the history (and possibly, folklore) of the place. Ilocos is just one of the richest places when it comes to history. ?

Keep on traveling!

Wow! When I first saw the images I didn’t realise this was in the Philippines, nor did I realise the Philippines had Spanish colonies! Goes to show that you learn something new every day! 🙂

Your photos look great! Keep up the incredible work!
