Sira-an Hot Spring is a hot sulfur spring on the top of a solid rock. The warm water flowing is collected into a small man-made swimming pool overlooking the Nogas Island. It is only 1-1/2 km. from Anini-y town proper.

Hot springs are love and therapy for the body, but aesthetically, sometimes they look all the same to me, especially when they are enclosed in swimming pools. Which is why I was in for a pleasant surprise when I made my way up Siraan Hot Spring in Anini-y, Antique.

Siraan Hot Spring is on top of a rugged gray outcropping with a view of the sea. So, while I immersed myself in the spring’s hot, sulfuric waters, I also took in the blue of the sea and the sky.

Siraan and Nogas Island did play an important role in the history of Antique way back because of their contributions to the people of the place. “Anthropological research reveals that Anini-y, specifically Sira-an hot springs, and Nogas Island, played a major role in the early civilization of Panay. Sira-an hot spring, which is considered ‘holy’ by “manogbulong” or native medicine men, functioned as a quarantine station. Nogas Island’s role was economic, as it was here that “baking” or striped golden-yellow seashell used as currency in the kingdom of the Atis was abundant.” Read More: http://antique.gov.ph
