Viajes por Filipinas: De Manila á Tayabas by Juan Alvarez Guerra
"Viajes por Filipinas: De Manila á Tayabas" by Juan Alvarez Guerra is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations during his travels through the Philippines, particularly from the bustling city of Manila to the less formal province of Tayabas. It seems to delve deeply into the geography, culture, local customs, and the daily life of the Filipino people, while also featuring historical referencesand personal anecdotes. At the start of the narrative, the author bids farewell to Manila and embarks on his journey on a small riverboat navigating the Pasig River, where he observes the vibrant life along the banks, including local traders and residents. He vividly describes the sights and sounds encountered along the ride, offering a glimpse into the landscape dotted with significant landmarks like churches and the scenic views that inspire his reflections. The encounter with fellow passengers—including a charming woman named Bertita—provides a mixture of humor and lighthearted social commentary, setting the tone for the rich observations and cultural insights that unfold throughout his travels in the archipelago.
