Travels: Exploring Camiguin

Aside from the breathtaking beaches of Camiguin, going around the city proper is another activity you must include in your Camiguin island tour. Bahay Bakasyunan also offers city tour. If you're alone or traveling with someone, I suggest joining a group of travelers to save a few hundreds.

The Rotunda located in downtown Mambajao

Camiguin is the second smallest island next to Batanes. The province is known for their soft and sweet pastel sold at Vjandep Bakeshoppe. I look for one of the oldest bakeshoppe in the town proper and saw this one. People buy boxes of Vjandep Pastel for pasalubong, I assume they are re-selling them in other locations such as bus terminals.

Pastel has custard filling in a soft bread. Aside from pastel, I tried their siopao that looks like pastel. 

Camiguin Public Market

As I mentioned on my previous post, there's no fast food like Jollibee or Mc Donald's in Camiguin so let me know if I'm not updated anymore. Anyway, there are restaurants and carinderia serving local even international cuisine.

I tried Paras Restaurant for lunch and ordered pork sinigang, lechon kawali and chopsuey.

Last on my day tour itinerary was visiting Sunken Cemetery on sunset. Boats are available for rent so you could go near the Sunken Cemetery. Snorkeling and swimming are allowed.

It was a short but sweet vacation in Camiguin island. There's so much I wanted to see and explore. The people were warm and friendly. I enjoyed talking to vendors selling local food like kiping, a crunchy delicacy spread with coco jam.
