We left Lola Sayong Eco-Surf Camp about 4:45 P.M. of the same day; and, made a stop over in Barcelona, Sorsogon, before going to Route 3 - Bulusan Volcano Natural Park, Bulusan, Sorsogon.
Barcelona is a fifth class municipality in Sorsogon Province, Philippines, bounded by Gubat in the north, Bulusan in the south, Casiguran in the west and Pacific Ocean in the east.
The site of Barcelona was originally part of Gubat and Bulusan. The town's name was known as Danlog, taken from the name of a local river. The change of name to Barcelona was recommended by a Spanish official that saw some similarities with Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). Until 1868, it was part of the parish of St. James the Great of Bulusan. After 1868, it took St. Joseph as its patron saint and celebrates their town fiesta on May 19. On April 16, 1886, it became a pueblo civil.
Barcelona is best known for its abundant supply of coconuts, copra, and root crops such as sweet potato & cassava. [End of Episode 3]
