Vigan

when I was there I felt like I was in a different time, it was a pleasurable experience

I was in Vigan with my daughter Ingrid, sister Via and friend Bebe in January 2007. This town is an old Spanish bastion and listed in UNESCO World Heritage list. The architecture shows European and Asian fusion in building design, materials and planning.

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.
