    would not allow him to do so. Only his older brother, his uncle, his sisters Neneng
    and Lucia, the Valenzuela family, Pedro Paterno, Mateo Evangelista, the Ateneo
    Jesuit fathers, and some intimate friends. The Jesuit priests gave him letters of
    recommendation to the members of their Society in Barcelona. He used the name
    Jose Mercado

    On his way to Madrid, Rizal had many stopovers. He first disembarked and visited
    the town of Singapore. Onboard the steamship ‘Djemnah’ he passed through Punta
    de Gales, Colombo, and Aden. En route to Marseilles, he also went across the
    historic waterway of Suez Canal and visited the Italian city of Naples. He left
    Marseilles, France for Barcelona in an express train.

    and Barcelona?
    Singapore: The first stop over of Rizal on his way to Spain is Singapore, which he
    spent for sightseeing the city including its famed Botanical Garden, Buddhist

    was engrossed with the multicultural people and language of the place. And he
    visited the Italian City of Naples. July 1891 Rizal went to Ghent in July 1891
    because the cost of printing in the place was cheaper. He lived in a low-cost
    boarding house where he had as roommate Jose Alejandro, an engineering student
    in the University of Ghent. Tightening their belts, they rented a room exclusive of
    breakfast. They bought a box of biscuit, counted the contents, and computed for
    their daily ration for a month. In just 15 days, Alejandro had eaten up all his
    shares whereas Rizal frugally limited himself to his daily allocation. The publisher

    Barcelona: He arrived Barcelona, Spain where he met some Filipinos. He also made
    his first nationalistic essay he wrote abroad, “Amor Patrio” which was later
    published in Diarong Tagalog.
