Vigan

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

I’ve been to Vigan two years ago and it was my first time to be there. Those old cribs are so cool even though they’re kinda crappy already, the place’s culture and heritage is still being preserved. We stayed at an house – the same house where the film “Maruja” was shot..cool huh?! Just imagine the old narras, four poster beds, thick wooden chairs and long tables, and the antique chandelier, old framed pictures of the past generations…and to be honest, i didnt feel creepy at all hehe..(^_) I didnt have the chance to ride the calesa but i didnt miss walking at Calle Crisologo wherein i felt i was in the time of Jose Rizal..well because of the old houses as usual.

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.
