Boracay

Boracay is celebrated for its silky-textured White Beach. Mid-market resort-goers, windsurfers, and dance-to-dawners. November to May.

Intramuros

This walled city dates back to the early Spanish Colonial Period in the 1500s. Although Intramuros ("between the walls") now contains many contemporary structures, its rebuilt historic fortifications and churches are the tourism magnet.
