Vigan

Vigan is popular for its Heritage Village wherein you will see the Spanish influence in the area… old houses, cobblestone streets and the ever famous “kalesa” (filipino version of a horse carriage). you will also get to see the “burnayan” wherein the local potteries called “burnay” where made. if you’re the type of visitor who would like to have a taste of the food, you’ll enjoy visiting this place. i recommend to always try the vigan longganisa (then add the “sukang iloko” or ilocos vinegar as a dipping sauce), the local “okoy” and last but not the least the “bagnet” (ilokano version of crispy pata) :P

Very friendly people! =D All smiles and cheers!

I tried the local sausage (or locally called longaniza) and mmmmmmm it was so good. Never mind the calories and the cholesterol.

make you appreciate your history more…the old houses, the museum, walking in the streets make you feel that you’re actually walking alongside with the spaniards

It was a one day trip. I loved this place though I would not want to go to this place alone. I loved the bantay tower.. For some reasons, it looked a little scary for me… Loved it though :)

Shame on me. I’ve been to 13 countries in Central and South America but I have never been to the Asian-most Spanish-style city in the world. I should go the next time I go on a balikbayan trip… I want to go during the Longanisa Festival.. mmm.. longanisa…

bagnet, pakbet, longganisa, sukang iloko, empanada…. yummmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy

The “bahay na Bato”, literal translation is house made of stone. This is my dream house rich with history.

yes, memories can kill u…

it’s about seven hours from manila (by bus) but it’s sooo worth the trip. you’ll love crisologo street, the bantay tower, baluarte, the pottery place, the empanada … you’ll just love everything about vigan.
