Calaca, also known as City of Calaca, is famously known for its CALACAtchara festival. Starting in 2004, this annual festival inspires age-old traditions for the locals. This 10-day-long celebration showcases the people’s talents in its street dancing and singing competitions. Paskuhan Sa Calaca is another much-anticipated event due to the marvelous Christmas village displays. In a neighboring municipality, you’ll find the smallest active volcano in the world, Taal Volcano. You can revel in the historical Minor Basilica of St. Martin de Tours nearby, the largest Catholic Church in Asia. Calaca is a coastal town, so expect some beautiful beaches during your visit.

When to visit Calaca:
- Beach lovers who want to enjoy Calaca and its surrounding areas should visit the city between November and May, which is the dry season. However, you may have to brave the crowd if you visit from March to May, as this is when tourists flock to the province of Batangas for the summer.

What guests are saying about their beach stay:
- "If you want to swim on the beach (which is one of the main reasons you go to the beach), you need to avail a boat ride for you to be taken to a better swimming area a little far from the shoreline. The water is always knee-high whether it is low tide or high tide. Another thing is that, if you walk your way towards the deeper portion of the beach, you'll need to wear slippers since it is very rocky which will cause you pain." - by Google reviewer, Matthew Joseph Riego de Dios
