Its been a while since I've been to Taal, Batangas. We always come here every Holy Week for the Visita Iglesia. This is also the hometown of my Lolo Candido so there were times that we also come here to visit some relatives.

| Casa Punzalan -The Ancestral Home |
 |
| The family even has its own street :-) |
The purpose of my visit this time around is for my gown that I will be using for my Uncle's wedding on June. Taal is well known for the Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana gowns with very intricate embroidery. They also offer the lower cost for made to order gowns compare to the ones offered in Divisoria. The gowns can be found at the market place and they even designated one area for it.
Here are some pictures

| The market is at Calle Diokno. |
We also made some stops to the two Church in the area. The first one is Our Lady of Caysasay church. We didnt have the time to go the famous Spring Well but I managed to get some shots in the area:
And lastly the Basilica de San Martin de Tours which is considered as the largest church in Asia and a heritage site. Just by going inside the church makes you feel that you are back in the Spanish era because of interiors of the church.
Well I hope the pictures will make you get your bag and start your own roadtrip to Taal. Definitely a place to visit.
