Journey to the Past: Casa Gorordo
Our next stop on our first Gabii sa Kabilin: Casa Gorordo. The house was built in the mid-19th century and was bought
by Juan Isidro de Gorordo in 1863. It is now under the Aboitiz Foundation; the
house has been restored and outfitted as a house museum that showcases the
elegant lifestyle at the turn of the century.
Here are the few photos I took discretely. Was warned not to take any. :)
The veranda where the Gorordo's spend their afternoon talking about politics. |
A typical sliding capiz window. |
A program held outside the garden where guests can buy food care of Marco Polo Plaza Cebu.
A guide will inform you everything you need to know about the house. Educational and engaging. We were with a few foreigners who had the best time amidst the humidity.
A harpist playing soft music. |

I've been here already, but why does it lost better now? xD
ReplyDeleteI would've loved to hear that boy play the harp. For some reason, I don't think he's had any lessons. xD
Thanks for the tag! :D
A guide told me not to take photos of the harpist. What does he take me for? Of course, I won't! I won't do it with flash! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty strict with the photography, so I decided not to take much.
