San Nicolas, one of the undiscovered places here in the province. San Nicolas, a small barrio in the province of Batangas, is popularly called as Lumang Taal. The  famed town (Taal) once stood in this terrain. However due to the deadly eruption of the Taal Volcano in 1754, it transferred to a secured and high ground not far from the former site.

On the lead is the Taal Volcano  Island – “island within a lake within an island within a lake within an island”. This attraction was included in  Patricia Schultz best selling travel book, 1,000 places to visit before you die, where it was listed in the 593rd spot. It is renowned as one of the most picturesque and most attractive views in the Philippines. Southern half of the Volcano island is under the jurisdiction of San Nicolas, thus making the town as one of the major jump-off points to the area. The famous tourist activity of course is the trekking to the volcano’s crater lake.

Taal, Batangas

Ofcourse how can I skip in my Batangas getaway is to be in Taal's most popular landmark, Taaleños and Taaleñas pride which is the Basilica of Taal also know as Basilica of St. Martin de Tours and Taal park. I was really amazed I enter the church, It was really Huge and what's amaze me ins the painting at the ceiling of the church, the details, the concept is really remarkable, the first time I saw it, I remember the Magellan's cross in Cebu where I've been last May 2011.

Identified as the largest Catholic church in Asia, Basilica of St. Martin de Tours stands 96 meters tall and 45 meters wide on a plateau in the heart of the town called Taal.

Taal is a 4th class municipality in the province of Batangas Philippines.
