This rural town of 115,000 people in southeast Luzon (Northern Philippines) offers a beautiful introduction to the greater Bicol Region, with the perfect cone of Mayon – derived from a local word meaning “beautiful” – volcano in the background. Daraga is a highly agricultural town gradually urbanising to accommodate the influx of visitors. Despite the hustle of downtown Daraga, there’s a very rural life going on in the rice paddies at the foot of the mountains.
