Bolinao and Alaminos Wonders Part 2


After checking out at the resort, we went to the town proper, we visited the 400 years old St. James Fortress. The church is under renovation because of the pass typhoons. The church is a real treasure but it looks disaster when we visited it. I hope they can preserve the place. It was founded by the Augustinians and the building was made from coral stones which is very abundant in the place. In front of the church, there are some selling “Binungey”, a local delicacy of Bolinao. It is rice cake cooked in a bamboo shoots and covered with banana leaves atop. I just tasted it; we don’t know that you need some sugar for flavorings. Sorry, my bad.
