bronze - silver craft shop

When in Banawe, try looking for those off the road craft shops. Banawe's local people are very artistic and creates beautiful crafts made of wood, silver, bronze and other natural materials.

I can't remeber the exact address of this particular shop but visitors may ask the locals for such place.

It is a good idea to buy your souvenirs directly through shops like these as you could get huge discounts (about 30 to 70%). Seeing them at work is an added bonus and a great experience too.

The lady at the middle of the picture is the daughter of the owner and also a smith. Very industrious and friendly...she invited us to taste the local wine that her father made out of their own rice crop.

Take care, Norman :)	freddie18 Fri Sep 8, 2006 13:16 UTC Banaue is another wonderful place in the Philippines which I always wanted to visit. I guess this will be one of my destinations aside from Baguio City.
