Beach Huts in Aparri

Beach Huts in Aparri

Aparri is a 1st class municipality in the province of Cagayan Valley in Northern Philippines. Its the jump-off point to several northern islands like Babuyan group of islands and Batanes.

Aparri was then a Japanese trading post established on 1405 because of its location at the northern tip of Luzon. But it was established as one of the major ports of the Galleon Trade on May 11, 1680 because it is located at the mouth of the mighty Cagayan River towards the flourishing city of then Nueva Segovia. The original inhabitants of this town were the Ybanags/Ibanags. Later, as the Spaniards settled and with its strategic location, Ilocanos and Chinese people settled in the area.

The valley is one of the largest tobacco-producing sections in the Philippines; and the town has a considerable coastwise trade.

    Interesting composition. I like the angle of the sunlight too that the shadows are cast opposite of the subjects!
