Alegria is located on the west side of Cebu opposite to Alcoy or Dalaguete in the east. It can be reach from the city 4-5 hours by bus. There are now several mountain side access roads going to Alegria. Most common by public ride is via Carcar rotunda. Second is the access road in Sibonga near Prince Warehouse and another in Taloot. The other option is round south via Santander.
The name Alegria was derived from the Spanish word “alegre” meaning cheerful. A happy occasion sparked the name “Alegria”. The town was long known as Tubod after a sparkling spring (tubod in Cebuano) whose cool waters was the favorite of the townspeople and travelers alike. It was here where a group of Spaniards chanced upon its residents enjoying a festivity amidst hilarious merriment. Amused, the Castillians exclaimed : Que alegre! Que alegre! (How gleeful!) From this rustic revelry, the town earned its name.
