As seen in its old houses along its cobblestone streets, the town is a living relic of Spanish influence. Vigan is by far the best preserved heritage town in the Philippines.
After an hour of discovering Vigan on Foot, we decided to explore the rest of Vigan aboard a calesa, a vintage-type horse drawn carriage that has been widely used throughout the country as the principal mode of transportation during the colonial era until the turn-of-the century. When traveling it is always good to have a map, so we dropped by the Heritage Village Administration Office located along Calle Crisologo to get a map of the city before taking the calesa tour. For 150 pesos an hour, the calesa took us to heritage houses, historical landmarks and cultural centers in Vigan.
From Calle Crisologo we traveled northwest to the downtown passing Plaza Burgos, the cathedral, Plaza Salcedo, Plaza Encarnacion, Plaza Trece Martires for our first stop –the Burgos Museum. The Burgos Museum is a bahay-na-bato. This house is the birth place of the Ilocano hero Padre Jose Burgos. Burgos finished his studies

WELCOME HOME!
I’m so happy to see Philippines again. Aside from re-uniting with my family and spend a quality time with them, I could also meet most of my dear friends from childhood to college. It was the best moment to relax and wholeheartedly appreciate my off without thinking my work, my expat life and everything about Dubai. I’m sure some of Filipino working thousand miles away can relate on my excitement to come home. Stepping on our native land is always a dream destination for all who were temporarily away from our loved ones. So making each day memorable and worthy plays a vital role in achieving vacation grande, ika nga nila.
Though its not a rainy season, there’s a fair share of rainfall anytime of the day. I was surprised with the kind of weather here (winelcome ako ng sipon, nyahaha) as I don’t have an idea when it will suddenly fall so hard. That’s why I always keep my folded pink umbrella in my bag wherever I go. I am thankful that whenever I need to go outside (whether official or personal gala) the weather is so cooperative. Its giving me way to finish the things I must do in a day then afterward saka bubuhos ang ulan. Thanks to SM for giving me a free pink umbrella when I shop on their Department Store. Speaking of SM
