Magellan's Cross in downtown Cebu
The cross is situated at a small chapel along Magallanes Street. The street is named after the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, who discovered Cebu. Rumor has it that the cross is a replica that was placed by the Spaniards when they successfully colonized the Philippines.

You can take public utility jeepneys with signboard "City Hall" or "Basilica", or may ride on a taxi.
Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino
Just right beside the Magellan's Cross, is a century built church, Basilica Minore del Sto. Nino. To date, people are flocking to the church, as the Sto. Nino is miraculous as they say.

Cebu's Pride Danggit, at the Tabo-an Dried Fish Market
Our last stopped at the Tabo-an dried fish market to buy "pasalubong", such as dried pusit, danggit and dried mangoes.
I enjoyed our "market tour" because of the "free taste" being offered by every market vendor. I'm almost full because of the free rice and free taste of danggit and pusit everywhere! Plus, they 're offering discounts, especially for bulk orders.
How to get here?
Ride on public utility jeepneys with signboard "Taboan"
TIP: The pungent smell of dried fish sticks to your clothes.
By the way, for those who don't know yet, DANGGIT is a salted dried fish best paired with hot rice and dipped in vinegar (with or without chili). We, Filipinos eat it with bare hands...The danggit fish is truly Cebu's pride. Try it!
