Day 1 - Getting Acquainted with San Fernando
Start your adventure off on the right foot with a morning visit to San Fernando Train Station, a National Historical Landmark that once played a significant role in the country's history. After roaming around, don't you think it's time for a burst of culture? Head over to Kahariam Farms and learn about organic farming and sustainable living. How's that for a green experience? Quench your hunger afterward with a local culinary delight at Zapata’s Mexican Grill - a charming little spot known for its mouthwatering tacos and nachos. Polish off your day with a visit to San Guillermo Parish Church, an architectural gem that stood firm despite Mt. Pinatubo's eruption in 1991. Isn't it amazing how places carry such heavy history?
Day 2 - Deep Dive into History and Culture
Wake up bright and early as we visit the heritage houses of Heritage District. Discover the Philippines' version of the European Renaissance period - remnant of a bygone era, half swallowed by Mt. Pinatubo's lahar flow, yet still standing tall and beautiful. Ready for a shopping detour? Enjoy rummaging through a cornucopia of shoes, toys, and all sorts of knick-knacks at the Shopping District. The evening is saved for an awe-inspiring visit to Metropolitan Cathedral of San Fernando, considered as one of the oldest and largest churches in Pampanga. Watch as the church comes alive against the evening sky, wouldn't that view be perfect for your travel photos?
Day 3 - Savor the Final Moments
On our final day, let’s taste the authentic Kapampangan cuisine at Susie's Cuisine. Their specialty 'tibok-tibok', a creamy carabao milk pudding, is a must-try! Once you've satisfied your palate, wander again and surround yourself with art at the Art Center of Pampanga. Seeing those masterpieces might just awaken your inner artist! Lastly, a visit to Nayong Pilipino will conclude our journey. Wondering what it is? Now, imagine experiencing the Philippines' diverse regional cultures all in one massive theme park. Exciting, right? This day truly encapsulates the essence of San Fernando - a city rich in history, culture, and natural charm.
