Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
Unique Visits
Old Church of St. Joseph, Barcelona, Sorsogon
From Rizal Beach in Gubat town and on the way to Bulusan Lake, you would pass by a handsome old stone church facing the sea in a town named after a famous city of Spain Photos of St. Joseph Church, Barcelona, Sorsogon:
old facade of the church, too bad the new image in front of the church obstructs the view of the facade and limits the angle you can take pictures from the inside of the church was unlit and quite typical of most old stone churches
A marker indicating the year 1874 probably states the year the structure was completed
This old church is a recommended in your itinerary in case you want to do a Sorsogon Visita Iglesia on Holy Week.
How to get there:
Commuting to Barcelona involves a jeepney ride from Gubat, Sorsogon. Visit the post on Gubat or Sorsogon City for details on commuting to Barcelona or driving directions.

Did you noticed that ugly communication tower just beside the church? Tsk,tsk... it is not that they don't have enough space in Bicol... why just put it next to a century old church. I can only hope that the NPA blows it up... not the church...the communication tower! ;-)
(I was married inside that church... I still don't really understand how such a thing happened... but it happened! ;-)
..w0w! my place..our house are located at the back of that church!im so proud i was born there..!-sheryl-
