Approximately 14 kilometers from Cebu City is the town of Liloan, a town that everybody should pay a visit whenever visiting the island of Cebu. This beautiful town got its name from whirlpools (lilo in Cebuano) that form in some areas of Silot Bay. This fast-growing municipality.

   There are many things to do in Liloan: photowalk, swimming, adventure, and of course,
   food trip. The food junkie will love the plaza, where a long stretch of the sidewalk is lined
   with food stalls from seafood to lechon, ricecakes to seaweed salad, and anything else that
   can make a food trip enjoyable. There’s also the popular biscuit with a hole, Titay’s
   Rosquillos, which was first baked in the pugon of Titay Frasco in 1907. The rosquillos has

1. San Fernando Rey Parish

   In front of the town hall is the almost 170-year old church of San Fernando Rey Parish,
   among the old churches in Cebu. Its structure is triangular roof at the center and two bell towers on both sides.
   The meter-thick wall is made of white bricks with arched windows on the sides. Unlike other churches in Cebu,
   this church faces west, a sun-proofing design which makes hearing mass in the morning more comfortable,
   according to the townsfolk. The only church in the Island that faces at the west direction. It was theorize that the
   designers of the church made that way to protect the church goes from the heat of the sun at morning.

1. Perfect spot by the bay

   A short habal-habal ride from the plaza can take you to the coastal barangay of Catarman. From there, you get a
   perfect view of the Mactan Channel, a serene place for picnic, biking, photoshoot, a nap under the trees, and of
   course, Liloan’s well-known landmark–the Bagacay Point Lighthouse also called as the Parola.

   From the lighthouse, you can walk through the clearings across the grassland to reach the coastline. This is
   where
   you gasp in awe after finding out that that somewhere out there, hidden by the bushes and trees, are the ruins of
   a watchtower and a breathtaking view of the ocean. The watchtower called as Bantayan sa Hari. The Bagacay
   Point Lighthouse or Parola ng Bagacay Point is originally built in 1857 by the Spaniards
