Best of both worlds...
hiking in the mountains and
swimming the long line of coastal beaches

...and when it's time for a light snack, try one of my favorite fruits,
the province's best-known produce...sweet and juicy mangoes

    Oh..I also love mangoes! Only thing is..if you eat too much of them, you might get diarrhea! (It happened to me!) I didn't know Zambales was the capital of mangoes!
