This is our sixth day in Dumaguete, and so far it's massively exceeded our expectations.
It's quite the food hub (more on that later).
And it is a great place to walk (a quality that always raises a locality enormously in our estimation). There's not too much traffic; it moves relatively slowly, and is fairly easy to get away from; and there are a reasonable number of pavements.

All told, it's a sweet spot, and just what we needed.
