Albay is a province of the Philippines located in the Bicol Region in Luzon. Its capital is Legazpi City and the province borders Camarines Sur to the north and Sorsogon to the south. Also to the northeast is Lagonoy Gulf. Mayon Volcano is the symbol most associated with the province.
Legazpi City, Albay is one of the Bicol Region's top tourist destinations.It is where the Mayon Volcano, one of the Philippines' most famous volcanoes is located. Mayon Volcano is the Philippines' most active volcano and is considered to be the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetrical cone. It is also a convenient embarkation point to other tourist destinations in the region such as the Cagsawa Ruins, the upscale resort of Misibis, Donsol, the site of one of the world's largest annual migration of whale sharks and the white sand beaches of Sorsogon and Catanduanes. The city is served by Legazpi Airport which accommodates Airbus A320, Boeing 737-400, and Boeing 727 and has the Mayon Volcano as its scenic backdrop.
After our CamSur Tour my best buddies (kat & tella) have our Legaspi City side trip. From Villa Caceres in Naga, we are about 2 hours super fast drive :) before we caught the beauty of Legaspi. With its background the Mayon Volcano :)
