Why these tags

Mountains

From the sources

“The city lies south of Mayon Volcano – an active stratovolcano known for its nearly symmetrical conical shape – and Legazpi is the base for volcano monitoring and hazard management operations in the region.”

“Pronounced leeng-YAWN, it is a 156 m (512 ft) peak with a nature park at its summit offering panoramic views of the city and Mayon Volcano, and adventure activities like ziplining.”

Festivals

From the sources

“Legazpi hosts several annual festivals including the Ibalong Festival, the Magayon festival, and the Bicol Loco Hot Air Balloon Festival.”

“The Ibalong Festival is a non-religious cultural celebration held every August to commemorate the ancient epic-fragment of Ibalong and its legendary heroes of Baltog, Handyong, and Bantong.”

Diving

From the sources

“Diving: There are 16 coral reefs off the coast of Legazpi and around the Albay Gulf ideal for scuba diving.”

Food

From the sources

“Another local specialty is tinutungang manok, a spicy chicken stew made with "scalded" or charred coconut cream.”

“For dessert the city is known for sili ice cream, made with red chilies and available in varying levels of spiciness, with other native sweets include pilinut candies and pili pastillas.”
