| - The Cataduanes Free State (pronounced: Katadwanes) is a sovereign state within the Philippine archipelago in South East Asia. To its west across the Maqueda Channel lays the island of Luzon, while elsewhere it is bounded by the Philippine sea. It is renowned for its cosmopolitan mix of Malay, Iberian and Chinese cultural influences. It compromises of the island of Cataduanes (also known as Catanduanes) and the smaller islands of Romblon and El Nido. The capital of Oltaloro is renowned for its 'Ciudad Vieja' or old town based around the San Martin harbor and the Santiago fortress, its narrow cobbled streets and dilapidated colonial buildings give it an old world charm, in marked contrast the new districts on the Magalona hills largely built since the influx of revenue from the growing Uranium and Aluminum extraction industries, a marked contrast to the old town and the small towns surrounding the capital. Also of note is the second city of Cataduanes, Subanon (where the ruins of the old Merdicas capital of Mahapari attract tourist who come to see the intricate stone carvings of the ruined temple and palace complexes). The old Spanish colonial capital of Villa Mérida east along the coast from Oltaloro is noteworthy for its history and coloinal architecture but since independence has slipped into benign neglect and is considered a backwater. While the largely Spanish populated islands of El Nido and Romblon are crammed with beautiful unspoiled beaches and picturesque fishing whitewashed villages.
