Exploring Vigan In Less Than Twenty Four Hours (1st Post in A Series)

Yep, you could have FUN in a short span of time in VIGAN where time freezes back to where horse-drawn carriages were the major means of transportation and cobblestones adorned floors. Last week a friend brought me there and sure thing I had a blast re-exploring The City of Vigan, a world heritage site where Spanish colonial architecture has been preserved.

These were the HIGHLIGHTS of our trip. I will share with you detailed posts on each tourist spot in succeeding posts.

1. Our Stay At Vigan Plaza Hotel

 

2. Riding Horse-Drawn Carriages Around The City

 

3. Climbing The Bell Tower of Santuario de Nuestra Senora de Caridad

 

4. Getting a Glimpse of The Past at National Museum- Padre Burgos House

 

5. Bonding With Mother Nature at The Hidden Garden

 

6. A Glimpse at Hotel Luna

 

7. Early Morning Gastronomic Feast- Vigan Longganisa

 

8. Hunting for Souvenirs and Getting Lost in Time at Heritage Village

 

 ...and endless wacky poses and memories with my pre-teener watchamakulit!

 

I think I filled the boy's box of happy memories to the brim, as he had mine more than I can put to words.

~Detailed posts on each place to follow!

~Special thanks to our friend who brought us there, M and to my energetic travel buddies R and G...

Sincerely,
