Madridejos Kota Park is an old Spanish Fort that was transformed into a park in Barangay Lawis, Madridejos here in Bantayan Island. Kota or Kuta means fort. Lawis which means peninsula, was the original name of Madridejos. The fort in the northernmost edge of Bantayan was originally built in 1790 by the Spaniards to serve as a camp and a watch tower to protect the place and its people from pirates, who raids children for slavery. The fort was turned into a cemetery up until the 1950’s which gives it a haunting ambiance especially at night. A walk through the bridge allows tourists to see different underwater creatures including jellyfishes and different colored fishes. For adventurists, one can take a dip into the strong waters, which has become a common swimming ground for native children. According to legends, the baywalk was constructed by the people amidst a whipping current.

Sakura beach is located in San Agustin which is a part of the Municipality of Madridejos. Sakura Beach was called by its name because it was once a beach long time ago, and there are many big trees that blooms a flower that looks like a sakura or shall we say a cherry blossoms, that's why it is called Sakura Beach. But the big trees flower only blooms between the month of April and June. Many tourists visited the beach back then, but since the beach existed fishermen in the area's livelihood was affected, so they came up to a decision that they will close the so called sakura beach in order for the fishermen in the area to freely catch fish as well as for them to continue their livelihood.

Bantayan Island composed of three municipalities, specifically Bantayan, Madridejos and Santa Fe. This island is perfect destination, the natural setting of the place will surely entice tourist. It has a lot of beautiful places. Like Sacred heart of Jesus located in Santa Fe and also the Budyong Beach, The Quarry located at Bantayan, and lastly the kota park located in Madridejos

My first destination is Sacred Heart of Jesus located in Baranggay kangkong, Santa Fe. It is one of the largest church in Bantayan Island. It doesn't have any historical features, because it is newly built chruch in Santa Fe.

Next stop, Budyong Beach resort it is located in Santa Fe.

Budyong Beach Resort is an affordable resort in Bantayan Island. It’s one of the choices when you want a beach resort with powdery white sand. They have beachfront cottages for rent where you can eat in front of your room with a nice view.

Swimming in front of our cottage is also great. Whether it's high tide or low tide, the water is clean and cool.

After several minutes of riding motorcyle I arrive at municipality of Bantayan. We stop in Bantayan plaza and to relaxe there before we travel again.

My second destination, is Quarry located at municipality of Bantayan

Gorgeous and enormous rock formations, a giant cross, and a vast epic view, makes every travelers feet go itching. The Quarry has now become one of Bantayan Island’s pride and most Instagrammable places in Cebu.

In my last destination, Kota park. Found in Municipality of Madridejos.

Madridejos Kota Park is an old Spanish Fort that was transformed into a park in Barangay Lawis, Madridejos in Bantayan Island. Kota or Kuta means fort. Lawis which means peninsula, was the original name of Madridejos.

Kota Park was my spiritual hangout in my childhood. It is a tourist spot in the town of Madridejos. As I did often, took a couple of minutes walk from my house to the calm waters.

Being there brings you into another state, in which you want to introspect, be calm, and be positive.

It seems that Kota Park is one of those places that no matter how bad you feel, you will leave feeling soothed and renewed. It is like therapy just to walk around, feel the ionic breeze of the air, smell the seaweed and moisture, hear the variety of birds singing, listen to the crashing of moderate waves, witness the sailboats and other boats on the water, and feel the sand on the soles of your feet, melding into each other with each step. It is a whole therapeutic package.
