25/365 When In Iloilo: Places To Hang Out - Plazuela De Iloilo

I first mentioned about Plazuela De Iloilo on my roaming around the city post but I did not elaborate because there are a lot of things to say about this place.

It is just a stone throw away from Smallville Complex and just like Smallville, Plazuella became the favorite hangout place of people who loves nightlife, hanging out, dining or just having simple coffee time/break.

I’m not sure how people differentiate these two places.  But if my two cents opinion matters I say that I would go to these two places on a night out depending on my mood or what kind of night out I am into or who I am with.

If I would like to have real party and a wilder crowd I’d go to Smallville Complex.  But if I just want to meet friends over coffee or food,  I would choose Plazuella.

This is very advisable also if you need to do some shopping before meeting up with someone because it is just adjacent to SM City Iloilo.

Not that there’s no place to party here.  Actually there’s a lot of bars in Plazuela  just like in Smallville.

Apart from the bars, Plazuela De Iloilo has a park located in the middle of the complex that is known for hosting big parties and events – just like the activity center of huge malls here in Manila.

It is located along the Benigno Aquino Avenue with a lot area of  12,533 sq mts.  The structure is inspired with Spanish-Italian architectural design.  It has long arcaded hallway that allows the people to walk with ease.  It is said to be designed as “flood free “ because it is elevated 2.05 meters from the street level.

So what’s your choice? Smallvile or Plazuela?

19/365: When In Iloilo: Photo Tour–Roaming Around The City During The Dinagyang Month

Let me give you a tour through this photographs that I took during the Dinagyang month in Iloilo City.

Most photographs were taken while I’m on board on a speeding vehicle which relatives and friends considered as my talent ha ha.  Photos are taken while randomly roaming the city.  I have a separate posts for particular road trips.

PLAZUELA DE ILOILO (and SM CITY MANDURRIAO)
Located at Mandurriao District along Benigno Aquino Diversion Road. It is adjacent to SM City Mandurriao and to some universities.  It is intended for 24 hours operations and the second floor of the building is said to be reserved for BPO companies.

Another building that I’m not sure what is this but I think this is still a part of the University of Iloilo.  This building really looks old but it is one great structure in person.
