Pictures from my hometown, Legazpi City, Albay, the Philippines.

The City of Legazpi (Bikol: Ciudad nin Legazpi; Filipino: Lungsod ng Legazpi) is a first class city and capital of the province of Albay, Philippines. With 157,010 inhabitants according to the 2000 census (194,580 as of 2007). It is the largest city in the Bicol Region in terms of population, though not in land area. It is also the regional center of the Bicol Region.

Legazpi was named after Miguel López de Legazpi, the Spanish conquistador who conquered the Philippine islands in 1565, and whose family name came from Legazpi, a town in Guipuzcoa, Spain.

It is where the Mayon Volcano, is located. This stratovolcano is the Philippines' most active and is considered to be the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetrical cone.
