Let’s journey up to the north and take a time-warp through the colonial city of Vigan. We’ll walk through cobbles, munching our way through the town’s traditional street fare and home-cooked feasts, from yummy empanadas to tasty longganisas.
More historical bites and pinakbet pizza as we take a peek at the life of ex-strongman Ferdinand Marcos in the town of Batac and admire two masterpieces of Ilocos’ unique Earthquake Baroque architecture: Paoay and Santa Maria Church.
Capping off, we’ll surf through the waves of Mairaira Beach in Pagudpud ending our journey in time to join the revelries of the annual Tres de Mayo fiesta in Vigan.
