surge of vehicles traveling North during the Holy Week holiday rush,
VIGAN here we come...
The Family arrived 4PM and checked-in first at Vigan Plaza Hotel
as our abode for the 1st night. Located in Mena Crisologo St,
we are just a stone's throw away from the cobblestone street - Calle
Crisologo.
A spanish colonial-style accommodation with upscale and modern
amenities inside.
Calle Crisologo at night with Spanish-style houses and souvenir shops
left and right.
The Family's dinner at Cafe Leona with the famous Vigan longganisa,
pakbet and bagnet.
Calle Crisologo at dawn. Free from the hustle and bustle of the sellers,
calesas and the crowd.
Had a quick tour of the UNESCO-declared World Heritage City
via a horse-driven carriage - Calesa.
We did not leave Vigan without buying some of its delicacies from
Tongson's Royal Bibingka - royal bibingka, Vigan longganisa and bagnet.
The Bantay Bell Tower located in neighboring town of Bantay, is standing
on the hilltop beside the St. Augustine Parish Church. Another popular
historical sight which when you climb up the tower, it offers a breath-taking
view of the houses and hills around.
Baluarte ni Chavit - a must see attraction esp. for kids for its mini-zoo.
It was my first time to see big tigers and ostrich up-close. There were deers,
ducks, beautiful and colorful birds and horses too.
