Navalas

Panay


Navalas has the only heritage church on the island – quaint Spanish-era Navales Church (1880) is made of coral blocks blackened by the years. The much-photographed summer retreat of the wealthy López family, Roca Encantada (Enchanted Rock), lies nearby, just off Navalas beach. Navalas is a P400 tricycle ride from Jordan.
