Albay, Provincial administrative division in Bicol Region, Philippines.
The province of Albay spans 2,575 square kilometers on the southeastern part of Luzon island, with Legazpi City serving as its capital.
The region, previously known as Ibat and Libog, was governed by Chief Gat Ibal before Spanish colonization began in the late 16th century.
The Ibalong Festival exhibits regional folklore through performances, while local markets display traditional Bicolano crafts and culinary specialties.
Three component cities and fifteen municipalities form the province's administrative structure, connected by a network of national roads across 720 barangays.
The province received recognition from UNESCO in 2016 as part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves due to its marine turtle habitats.
