Its establishment was attributed to the Roman\nCatholic friar who visited and brought the image of the now town\u2019s patron\nsaint, St. James the Great. This was also the time when the Spanish authorities\ncreated the local government units in the northern part of Cebu. When the\npopulation of the barrio increased, the chapel dedicated to St. James was made\ninto a chapel until a Catholic Church was decided to be constructed in 1866.\nWhen the Americans gained control over the Philippines, the restructuring of\nLGUs was done; hence, in 1919, Compostela became a municipality of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>They\nhold the annual celebration of the Queseo Festival.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela.jpg 960w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-350x263.jpg 350w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Queseo-Festival-De-Compostela-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption>Photo from Queseo Festival De&#8217; Compostela&#8217;s Facebook Page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/queso.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10596\"\/><figcaption>Queseo Festival | Photo by Gee Estose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/queseo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/queseo.jpg 405w, https:\/\/queencitycebu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/queseo-350x234.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><figcaption>Kesong Puti | Photo from  <a href=\"http:\/\/compostelacebu.gov.ph\/\">http:\/\/compostelacebu.gov.ph<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the unheard delicacies of the town is a cheese made from carabao\u2019s milk. This is one of the primary livelihood of many locals living in the mountain barangays of the town. This is created through a meticulous process in order to create a distinctly creamy product which is usually paired with biscuits or bread. To promote this product, a dance routine mimicking the process of making the queseo was created: <em>limpyo, puga sa gatas, sa-an, init kaldero, huwad suka, hulma, <\/em>and <em>putos.<\/em> This was danced through the official Queseo Festival jingle and was made to public on July 24, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>But they once hold the Caballo\nFestival.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the town of\nCompostela used to celebrate its grandiose festival in honor of the town\u2019s\npatron saint, St. James the Apostle. The term \u201ccaballo\u201d directly refers to the\nwhite horse of the saint \u2013 symbol of unity, strength, and faith attributed to\nthe Spaniards. However, upon the conception of this festival, Queseo Festival\nwas also considered but at that time, it was unimaginable for them to come up\nwith a dance that demonstrates the preparation of the product. Hence, the\nconcept laid in the sidelines.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Its oldest structure, the church,\nis also the foundation of Compostela.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Built in 1866, the St. James the Apostle Parish\nstands as the oldest structure in Compostela. The priest, Fr. Jose Alonzo, who\nfacilitated the construction was also the one who suggested to name the town\nCompostela in reference to Santiago de Compostela where Saint James came from.\nIn July 2017, Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal declared the church as an\nArchdiocesan Shrine. The town holds its annual festival \u2013 Queseo Festival \u2013 on\nthe feast day of their patron saint every 25<sup>th<\/sup> of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Compostela is a home for\nadventurers.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep into the heart of Compostela are places that are purposely visited by adventure junkies because of the challenges they offer to them.
