A planned Spanish colonial town Vigan is the best preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia it is about 400km from Manila. It is the capital city of Ilocos Sur.Everytime we visit Pagudpod, our 1st stop over from manila is Vigan next to Laoag City When we go to Vigan we always go to plaza Burgos , were nearby are food stalls selling native delicacies such as the my favorite “empanada”. We also recommend to visit Crisologo Museum, a original furnishings of a typical Vigan ancestral house. |

Wonderful history of the place, very good tips and photos. But, that hotel-locked in at night? What if there had been a fire??? Doug | goutammitra Sun Jan 13, 2008 02:14 UTC
