La Union


Recommended Posts

La Union, often called "Elyu," is a favorite destination in the Philippines for surfers, beach lovers, and those looking for a chill escape. Here's a quick review:

Pros:

  1. Surfing Spot: Known as the "Surfing Capital of the North," San Juan offers great waves for beginners and pros, especially during the surf season (October to March).
  2. Relaxed Vibe: Unlike Boracay, La Union has a more laid-back atmosphere, perfect for unwinding.
  3. Cafés and Food: Elyu is famous for its trendy cafés (e.g., El Union Coffee) and local dining spots offering great Filipino, vegan, and international options.
  4. Art and Culture: Check out spots like the Flotsam & Jetsam Hostel for creative vibes and occasional live music.
  5. Accessibility: It’s just a 4-6 hour drive from Manila, making it a convenient weekend getaway.
