Coral Cay

On arrival on Siquijor a local took us to the hotel or I should say resort of Coral Cay. What a smile this put on my face. My room was right on the sandy beach. Just look at the sunset viewed from my room. In my opinion Siquijor is simply paradise. We stayed here two nights. We did some relaxing on the day of arrival and the next day hired motorbikes and went on a trip around this small island.

Siquijor, an island believed to have risen from the ocean in an immense storm is also considered the land masked with mysteries and unusual religious beliefs. The Spanish called it the Fire Island or Isla del Fuego. Black art is a famous practice for most people in the island, where many of them take pride in their mystical powers. During holy week, several rituals combined with Christian faith are performed to enhance their supernatural skills.
