las casas filipinas de acuzar pt. ii

I remember this was the day before my birthday. I woke up early in the morning and wasted no time marinating myself in the bed to roam around this heritage park. I specifically loaded a Portra in my camera because I thought the subtlety would be perfect for this place even though it was my first time to shoot with it. And boy, was I not wrong.

More about Las Casas:

Spread over 400 hectares, the park features a collection of 27 Spanish Colonial buildings and stone houses (bahay na bato in Tagalog), planned to resemble a settlement reminiscent of the period. These houses were carefully dismantled, brick by brick, transplanted from different parts of the Philippines and rehabilitated in these premises, to resemble the original structure. For parts that were missing, woodwork and bricks were replicated to resemble the original structure. For this, the Ciudad employs a workforce of 130 people, including 10 wood sculptors, three metal sculptors, 30 craftsmen who design ceilings, and construction workers. There are also five architects, two of whom are historical architects, and two artists.
The resort also has a restaurant, a beach, calesa rides and a swimming pool. The resort plans to house 50 such heritage houses.
