Vigan City: A Timeless Walk Through Colonial Charm 🇵🇭

Step into the past in Vigan City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial houses, and horse-drawn kalesas bring the 16th century to life. Nestled in Ilocos Sur, this gem is one of the few preserved Hispanic towns in Asia—and it’s absolutely magical at sunset.

🛎️ Travel Tips:
✅ Don’t miss Calle Crisologo—come early morning or evening for the best photos without the crowds.
✅ Visit the Syquia Mansion and Bantay Bell Tower for a peek into Filipino-Spanish history.
✅ Try Vigan empanada and longganisa—local flavors you’ll crave long after you leave.
✅ Take a calesa ride for that full heritage-town experience

This isn’t just a city—it’s a living museum, where every turn tells a story of resilience, beauty, and Filipino pride. 🇵🇭
