THE PROVINCE

Pangasinan is one of the four provinces of Ilocos Region or Region I. In this province live several tourist spots like golden beaches, hundreds of scattered islands in the gulf, underground saltwater lakes, caves, rivers and rock formations. Our Lady of Manaoag Shrine is in Central Pangasinan, and there are a lot more old structures like churches built in the province. The name Pangasinan means “land of salt”.

FUN FOOD TRIP

We haven’t tried eating in restaurants in Pangasinan but we enjoyed eating grilled boneless bangus (milkfish) of Dagupan for our dinner in Bolinao. Delicious! We also enjoyed eating our fresh-catch squid and eggplants, grilled it for our dinner in Dasol. The best part there, we cooked and grilled our food—more fun way to enjoy nature tripping in Pangasinan! Remember, Pangasinan is home to fresh-catch seafood, so don’t miss buying them in the markets of the province and later grill it for your dinner!

INNS/HOMESTAYS/RESORTS

For Alaminos-Bolinao trip, we heard that Treasures of Bolinao and Puerto del Sol are good choices for night stay, though they are not for budget-conscious travelers but for tourists who want to enjoy infinity pool and beach volleyball grounds.

In Dasol, Pangasinan, I suggest Benilda's Homestay. Check my post "Dasol's Tambobong Beach".

FESTIVAL

Alaminos hosts Gali-la Hundred Islands Festival, Dagupan celebrates Bangus Festival and Bayambang is home to Malangsi Festival. I’ll try to attend to all of the festivals soon.
