Walking around Bacolod City - the City of Smiles, Negros Occidental, Philippines

Описание: What does Bacolod City offer? I stayed in 2 different hotels on my 4 day stay in Bacolod. The second place - "11th Street Bed & Breakfast" was an absolute gem of a find. The staff are very friendly and genuine. None of them sit around on the phones all day. They are always on hand to assist you. It has a lovely relaxing garden and I felt very comfortable staying there. And so cheap at 880 pesos with a Senior Discount. Foreigners are not entitled to Senior discounts in the Philippines, but some can avail of a discount at the discretion of each establishment or travel company.

Negros residents have a love for knowledge and works of art, and at Silay City there are a collection of heritage mansions built during the height of the Philippine sugar industry's success, of which Negros was the very center.

Whilst in Bacolod, you should definitely make a trip outside the city to Talisay City to see "The Ruins" the ancestral mansion of the family of wealthy sugar businessman Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson. Built on a 440 hectare sugar plantation in Talisay City, Negros Occidental, in the early 1900s and now under the private ownership of the great-grandchildren of Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson and Cora Maria Osorio Rosa-Braga, the family have preserved it in its ruined state, among operational farmland, as a tourist attraction or hired for events.
