Uncover the Beauty of Abra, One Municipality at a Time
Nestled between the mountain ranges of the Ilocos to the west and the Cordillera to the east, Abra is embraced by Ilocos Norte to the north and Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province to the south. To the east lies Kalinga, and to the west, the Province of Apayao. Straddling the realms of Ilocandia and the Cordillera, this landlocked province seamlessly blends the dominant Spanish ancestry of its lowland inhabitants with the unique ethnicity of the upland Itneg tribe.
Surrounded by mountains, Abra maintains its pristine natural environment, where life unfolds at a leisurely pace. As the largest province in the Cordillera in terms of land area, Abra boasts the highest number of municipalities (27) and barangays (303) among the six provinces in the region. Each municipality is rich in both natural wonders and cultural treasures.
