ALCANTARA

 
 

It nestles 85.3kms Southeast of Cebu City.  This municipality is used to be called as “Kogtong” which means a big fish that was said to dwell in a spring in the center of the town.  When the Spaniards arrived, they renamed the place Alcantara after a town in Spain.  It became a municipality in 1830 as it separated from adjacent towns of Ronda and Moalboal.
