Santorini in Greece.
I'm in love with this place since I watched the movie For the First Time,
starred by KC Concepcion and Richard Gutierrez.
I told you, I'm obsessed with "al fresco" dining, and with resort bars, that is
why I fell in love also with the movie No Other Woman which featured Thunderbird
Poro Point La Union. And there's this little Santorini as they say loctaed in
Batangas, (maybe on my next blog if I will be having the chance to get there
sooner). Oh, I'm really getting addicted to these places which mimic Santorini.
Calling all travelers by heart... have you added Santorini in your bucket list?
And yet you kept on rescheduling when is when because of money and your tight
sched? And when is the right time to fall in love with the place?
I want to share with you one of my favorite hubs in La Union, not just my fave,
it's a special place, because it has a special spot in my heart. It is where I
imagined my dream wedding. A little bit of Santorini too.
As I lived there in San Fernando City, La Union way back 2009 to 2013 as a
college instructor at my uncle's humble college located nearby San Juan, La
Union, I came with a broken heart, confused with my career what's next. To my
surprise, days passed by, I'm getting acquainted with the school already, with
the surrounding people. With the place itself.
Fridays.
Here in Manila, I always have a good time at night after work with my friends
and co-workers when I worked in top global companies located in Makati and
Bonifacio Global City or BGC as they call it now.
Unwind is the right term after work toxicity. Cold beer. Good laugh. But not the
same fridays that I had in La Union when I started to work there. I discovered
myself addicted to resort bars along the bay of San Juan, La Union.
Until one day,when my friend and I started to discover this place by just
walking together going to our fave "videoke place" after work, I couldn't set my
foot out of the resort already. I started taking pictures and dreaming my
wedding just by staring at the beach.. and yes, please don't forget my cold
beer.
When we were there, a couple went to our table and told us to just explore and
take pictures of the whole place, with my thoughts of, they need a blog. And
this is a bit late for them.
They were the owners, a lawyer with her foreigner hubby. I just sighed and
smiled looking at them.
What a romantic crib for them..
Let's talk about the food.It's called "La Parilla", a grill resto.
It was fine, it's kinda greek and it's pricey for me then,I don't know if now,
they added some on their menu. I think the place deserves it. I ordered chicken
pasta over cold beer. It was delightfully delicious.With a classy taste.
If you want to learn surfing, you may want to check-in and leave for tomorrow.
Room rates are affordable down to Php 2,000.00 per night for 2 persons with a
studio-type of room. More infos on their website when updated.
Hmmm... I think this blog should be a teaser, and there will be a part II of
this. I should try once again,I guess there are a lot of changes and
improvements now, after 3 years. This is a place where you wanted to just sit
down and unwind, watch the sun go down over the vastness of the beach while
savoring your cold beer and their good greeky food.
For the meantime, here are some of our pics with my friend and recently with my
coworker when they visited the place. Credits to them for the recent shots.
