Uncover the Beauty of Abra, One Municipality at a Time
Bordered by the mountain ranges of the Ilocos on the west and the Cordillera in the east, Abra is bounded on the north by Ilocos Norte and by Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province on the south. Towards its east is Kalinga and the Province of Apayao on the west. Straddling the Ilocandia and the Cordillera, this landlocked province is a fusion of the lowland people of dominant Spanish ancestry and the unique ethnicity of the upland Itneg tribe.
Enveloped by mountains, Abra has kept its natural surroundings raw, and life goes on at a relaxed pace. Abra is the largest province in the Cordillera in terms of land area. It has the largest number of municipalities (27) and barangays (303) among the six provinces of the region. Each municipality teems with impressive natural and cultural resources.
