Going to Vigan has always been my dream! But now it is no longer a dream, but a reality. If you’re wondering why Vigan? Well, I always fancy vintage, something old and valuable. I see to it when I visit every place, I venture to its iconic historical landmarks.
Vigan - It’s a lifelong dream venturing in the walls of this place. I’m mesmerized and amazed of how beautiful this place is. Walking in the street of Crisologo is as if I entered a different dimension or time traveled. It brought me back in the Spanish era.
Everything is picturesque! Even the old chipped bricks, vendors sitting beside their stores, horses taking a break on the side of the street or the vines crawling in the walls are all very instagramable.
I found a lot of antique shops in this place, it’s filled with old furniture, jars, statues, old books, letters, and old postal stamps. I wanted to buy something, but I went out empty handed. Imagine the regret I felt afterwards... It's heartbreaking!
A man driving a kalesa persuade my brother and I to ride his kalesa. We hesitated, but then agreed cos why not! And there were no regrets, he's very knowledgeable, practically genius I must say, telling us stories about this and that building, houses, and establishments. Take note: with specific complete dates. I believe the people I met are the highlight of of my travels.
I don’t now how to end this post, i’m not good in conclusions either. But i’ll leave you with what Dr. Seuss said “Oh! the places you’ll go.”
