Description
This heart-shaped rock used to be known as the "Batong Lumayag" or "Sailing Stone" because it appeared as floating or sailing during high tide. It then came to be called Mi Retiro Rock because it was believed to be the place where Dr. Jose P. Rizal wrote his longest poem "Mi Retiro" composed of 24 stanzas or 10 stanzas longer than the famous "Mi Ultimo Adios". It was also here where he spent many hours watching the sunset. This was also the site where he and Josephine Bracken exchanged vows and lived as husband and wife after the consent of his mother.
