Alegria
Alegria was once a sleepy town located in the southwestern coast of Cebu. Efforts by local officials in spurring tourism in the town resulted to the establishment of the Kawayan Festival, which is celebrated in honor of the patron saint of the town. In addition, among the products offered by the town are accessories and home décors made from Kawayan or bamboo. But, the town is more known for the canyoneering activities, which has resulted to an increase in the number of tourists looking for an adventure.
