OBONG SPRING
The coolest spring in dalaguete is located at Balud, Dalaguete, Cebu.
The Obong Spring is a fresh water spring which emanates near the beach. Because of steady outpour of water, a pool of freshwater meets the sea especially when the tide is high and the water become brackish. So, that’s the explanation behind such mystery. DELICACIES BANANA MEAT AND TORTA MANTALONGON
Mantalongon is not called "Summer Capital" and "Little Baguio of Cebu" for nothing. Mantalongon, a hinterland barangay some 14 kilometers up the scenic mountains, is popular with its cool climate even during summer. In fact, it is the most popular of all barangays in Dalaguete. The name itself is already synonymous with high value crops especially vegetables and flowers. With its pleasant climate all year round, many city folks and other out-of-towners come in droves during summer to escape the sweltering heat in the lowlands.
OSMENA PEAK
*****************************************************************************************************
Osmena Peak is known to be the highest peak in the province and island of Cebu. Base on actual GPS altitude, it stand approximately 1000 meters above sea level. Osmena peak is located in the vicinity area of Mantalongon, (a town that is around 700 to 800 meters and probably one of the highest towns in Cebu. Mantalongon has been known as the vegetable kingdom of Cebu. Its really unusual finding this town where you feel it was like an area in the Cordilleras were they have their trading post for vegetable dealers and townfolks and children are wearing jackets at high noon. Reminds me of Baguio City and La Trinidad).

UTANON FESTIVALUTANON FESTIVAL IS A CELEBRATION OF GOOD HARVEST THROUGH DANCE AND MUSIC. THROUGH MUSIC BECAUSE DALAGUETE IS NOT ONLY THE VEGETABLE BASKET OF THE PROVINCE OF CEBU BUT ALSO THE MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE ISLAND AS WELL.
 Utanon Festival is a festival of music and dance featuring our high value crops and vegetables as a major form of trade, its contribution to the local economy, its role in cultural diversity and its significance as an industry representative of Dalaguetnons as a people. The festival shall focus on the concept of the people’s cultural practices of religious worship as thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. It shall become a marketing tool for the promotion of our vegetable industry and gives emphasis that vegetable farming is a sustainable source of livelihood. These economic components shall be coupled with our reputation as a town of music and world class musicians featuring our cultural heritage. This will be held during the Annual celebration of our Patron Saint San Guillermo de Aquitania on February.
The event will showcase a parade and a competition of the different groups of contingents, musicians, floats, higantes and bands in Dalaguete and will be "spiced up" by groups of dancers who will be dancing with newly developed street dancing steps specifically designed for our festival. Participating groups are our local contingents composed of elementary and high school students. They will be packaged by using uniforms or costumes with specific themes which are of Cebuano or Visayan traditional influence: e.g. Spanish period, American, colonial, etc.
