Since traveling to the northern tip of Cebu can take a number of hours, it is necessary to make a stopover somewhere. This allows travelers can stretch their legs or grab a quick bite. While there are several places where private vehicles and buses can stop along the route, there is a place in Carmen where you can stop for a while before continuing their journey north. The name of the place is Bastap.
