No
definite plan yet but Caleruega is on my bucket list since forever. So, right
after we checked out at Oyster Forest Life Resort in Tagaytay and had our
lunch, I decided that we should go to Caleruega
since it is just 30 minutes away from Tagaytay
proper. And that’s one of my many spontaneous travels that I treasure. The joy
it brings is unexplainable.
Caleruega
got its name from the small town in Castile-Leon, Spain – the birthplace of St.
Dominic de Guzman, father of the Order of Preachers. To honor the legacy of
their founder, the Filipino Dominicans named the retreat place after his name.
And that’s explain why the structures were Spanish-like.
Caleruega
is popular for pre-nuptial and wedding venue because of its beautifully
structured chapel of Transfiguration. Just right after the signage of “Welcome
to Nasugbu” you’ll find a not-so-hidden sanctuary that will give everyone an
inner joy, love, reflect, meditate and appreciate every single details of their
being. It is also a retreat center and nature park that connotes serenity and
peace.
Going here is a breath of fresh air as you may find inner peace and it
seems like it is sending a message that everything
will be fine. Of course, you’re much closer with God and the feeling is
absolutely amazing. I just wish we had longer time to just sit down and explore
the place not in a hurry. But nevertheless, every second is worth embracing God’s
love.
Caleruega
has a beautiful landscape and park where you can immense in the beauty of
nature. The surrounding is quiet and laid back - perfect for those who want to
be away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
weddings and bridal cars - your usual view in Caleruega!
love hanging out here though this specific venue is dedicated for retreat.
