The Relief Map Of The Philippines
Rizal Park. We started our visit to Manila itself starting to walk from our hotel in Malate area, north on Mabini Street up to the Rizal Park. Along the way we crossed the Ermita area, seeing a landscape of great contrasts, with towering hotels or office buildings with really crappy and very poor sites. And this not to mention the incredible web of electric and telephone cables that cross the streets up in all possible directions. Rizal Park, meanwhile, is quite nice and well kept. The day I visited was Sunday and there were many people walking by him. To visit its most emblematic places follow the helpful tour guide proposed by the LP: the monument to Rizal, the place of the execution of Rizal, the relief map of the Philippines, Chinese and Japanese gardens and the Plaza of Chess. A must in this area is the luxurious and historic Manila Hotel, a hotel with character between the Rizal Park and Manila Bay. It was built in 1912 and have passed through it distinguished guests, heads of state, political figures and celebrities worldwide. It’s one of those hotels and classy Asian pedigree can be found scattered across the continent, colonial-style architecture or something decadent interiors and furniture. It’s worth sitting on the comfortable sofas in the lobby there and look around. Also this hotel can be a great place to watch the sunset over Manila Bay.
Intramuros. The district of Intramuros, located along the south bank of the Pasig River, was built by López de Legazpi in 1571, the beginning of the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, and is therefore the oldest of Manila. As its name suggests it is a city surrounded by moats and high, thick walls, cobblestone streets, Spanish-style colonial buildings, churches, ramparts and drawbridges reminiscent of 300 years of Spanish occupation in Manila. Intramuros has suffered, in addition to the bombings of World War II, many typhoons and earthquakes that the city reduced to ruins on numerous occasions, but thanks to the occasional restoration has managed to preserve a part of this rich heritage. Despite being the only historical vestige of that time in the city of Manila are few travelers who include in their visit to the Philippines, which is a shame because it’s worth spending at least half a day.
