Mr. Sixto Niere, the first elected municipal president proposed to rename the Mambaje to Alcoy after the Alcoy in Spain, and it was eventually approved. Alcoy consists of 8 barangays and is approximately 98 KM from Metro Cebu. It was once part of Dalaguete and became an independent town on July 16, 1898.

Do you know the town was called as “Black Sharma Municipality” because it’s home to the famous Cebu Black Shama (Siloy)? 

The Siloy Festival promotes the Mag-abo forest where the “Siloy” (Black Shama) bird can be found. The feast also honors the town's patron saint, St. Rosa de Lima.

Antig Tingko Beach is located in Brgy. Daan-Lungsod next to Voda Krasna Beach Resort. It is a public beach and is known for its beautiful fine sand. If you want to stay longer, you can rent beach houses and cottages or you can bring your own tent if you plan to camp! The entrance fee ranges P10-25 and the tent is between P100-200.  Affordable right?

You can also do snorkeling in Mabad-on reef (a deep lagoon that disappears during high tide).

Voda Krasna Beach Resort offers the perfect nature getatway. Prices are a bit steep, but the view is well worth it. Those of you who have been there, what can you say about this resort?
