There are places that
become memorable not only because they are breathtaking or beautiful. There are
places that you will never forget simply because in some ways, it has changed
you. San Narciso, a sleepy but enchanting town in the less traveled part of
Quezon, is such one place. Named after Governor General Narciso Claveria who
visited in 1846 and helped establish the place, San Narciso boasts of its long-tradition
of senakulo enacted every Holy Week, friendly locals who make you feel at home,
and natural beauty that could make your heart smile again.
How to get to San Narciso and tips:
1. Superline buses in Cubao have daily trips to San Narciso.
Another option would be to go to Lucena and take another mini bus bound for San
Narciso. Travel time usually takes 7-8 hours.
2. Mostly all the beaches in San Narciso are accessible by
tricycle except Napinto Cave which can be reached via a motorized banca, which
you can hire by or near the pier. Cost for the roundtrip boat ride is P700 good
for 4 pax and P1,000 for 10 pax.
3. There are no hotels in San Narciso, but you can stay at
Friend’s Diner at a very affordable price; you may contact Tita Nora at
0928-3120640. The three beach resorts in Calwit, Talisay and Sabit have only
open cottages.
