Ten things to do in Vigan

Though I stayed for nearly 24 hours in Vigan. I truly enjoyed and learned a lot of history from the people that ive met. Here' a bucket list of what aret to missed if you stumble upon Vigan, Ilocos Norte. By the way, I aboard a horse drawn carriage for 2 hours which cost me P300.00 (150/hr). I strongly suggest this form of transportation not only because it doesnt have pollution but to help the locals.

1. Transport back in time as you walked on the cobblestone street of Calle Crisologo.
