A remnant of the Spanish Naval Station in Subic Bay from the 1880s, the Spanish Gate served as the entrance to the naval station and a jail during both the Spanish and American occupation. The wall is made from locally quarried stone and has been an one of the iconic Subic tourist spots. Now a national historic landmark, the Spanish Gate still has its gun ports intact and some of its jail features even if most of the naval fort had been destroyed by war.

The Subic tourist spot isn’t an easy one to hike -- it takes around 14 hours to reach the peak and with the scorching sun and absence of much trees, the trek is not for the faint of heart or health. But the summit is all worth it. The view on top of the mountain is breathtaking, making the two-day climb a piece of cake.
