Itinerary description
|
Stage easier than the previous one, although much of the first neck, until connecting with the National Highway, we found long sections of track with very muddy and slippery areas. The rest is on cement and without any difficulty. Very little traffic and very rural landscape, even the section of National Highway. Leaving San Vicente, the route runs parallel to the long Long Beach. Alimanguan is a small village that is located at km 15 with a beautiful, solitary white sand beach and small traditional fishing boats. Taytay is a bigger town, somewhat disturbed but still very authentic, with lively streets, markets and an old part that gives to the sea built on stilts, that is to say, traditional houses built on poles to avoid contact with the water of the sea In any case, what stands out from Taytay is the Fort of Santa Isabel, built by the Spanish colonizers in 1666, when this town was the capital of Palawan (then called Paragua) to defend themselves against the Muslim pirates who infested the coasts from that time. The current name was put in the nineteenth century in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. We stayed at the Pem's Pension, where we ate very well and we slept in some beautiful bungalows.
Apart from visiting the streets and the fort of Taytay, we in the afternoon also went to Lake Manguago, about 12 kms from Taytay, a huge continental continental extension lost amid a thick jungle with spectacular natural wealth.
