OUR
LADY OF LOURDES GROTTO Everyone knows this iconic stairs of the
grotto here in Baguio. Almost everyone who’ve been to Baguio dropped by here to
try the hundred steps of stairs and offer a prayer above to the Lady of Lourdes.
I remember back in the 80’s I went here with my family and climbed the stairs
non stop, me and my cousin race to the finish and its funny that we feel that
we’re going to die after tiring ourselves, I promised that I will never do that
again hahha. Also, I asked our Baguio blogger friend Vincent if how many
times did he visit this place, he mentioned that he always visit and sometimes
do jogging here every morning.
As in jogging!! oh wow!!!! Now I admire
the people of Baguio because they really got lots of foot and climbing powers
As usual, the grotto steps are free from street vendors and other street
dwellers, but expect vendors below and front of the stairs.
I learned
that there’s a road that can take you to the middle part of the grotto, its like
skipping a few hundreds of steps and taking a quick short cut if ever you have
your own private vehicle. That’s a good start for newbies and also senior people
who don’t have the energy to climb up way from below.
