A Must See in Zamboanga City



Lantaka Hotel was also one of the nice places to visit in Zamboanga City. Lantaka by the Sea Hotel is what they call this, what is particularly extraordinary about this place is that its located on the paved area by the wharf behind the hotel. Here, you will find colorful vinta sail boats and stalls of the Badjao sea gypsies, one of the original people who established in Zamboanga. The Badjaos offer various ornamental items and charms fashioned out of resources harvested from the sea. The most common are pearls that have been stringed into necklaces or fashioned into ear rings. While a set of these can be bought at incredibly low prices. Click here to see photos Cultured Pearls


When I was in Zamboanga City during my 6weeks vacation, one of the places I visited was La Vista Del Mar: About six kilometers out of town along the West Coast Highway, you’d find this stylish open-air sea food restaurant that offers good food with a great view of the sea. We went there the day before Fiesta Pilar to avoid traffic and yet I was surprised to see the big crowd of people that were also there. But nevertheless we all had a great time
