Salay, Philippines Cruises

Salay, Philippines Cruise Port

Salay, lying in the northwestern part of the Misamis Oriental province, boasts a population of nearly 30,000, and is divided into 18 unique villages. While many of the villages rely on fishing as a means of income, many of the locals, known as Salayanos, are dependent on crops of lanzones for livelihood. Cultivated for its fruit, make sure you try one and take a bottle of sweet syrup home!

• If it’s early May, don’t miss the Official Feast Day of Salay, a festival filled with dancing, music, and you guessed it, feasting.
   
• Origami meets its match in Salay, as the town is known for its paper crafts, using their own version of washi.
   
• Stop by the New Municipal Central Market to dine on fresh fish, lanzone specialties, and grab some handmade souvenirs!
