#CelebrateWithTrip Charming Vigan It took us a long drive of about 9 hours from Manila to Vigan due to Friday night traffic, but I might say it’s still worth it. Vigan is such a beautiful city with an old-world charm. The historic city is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site as it has one of the best preserved planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Head over to Calle Crisologo for an old world feel with its cobblestone streets, rustic structures and horse drawn carriages or the kalesa. Plaza Salcedo also offers a fountain show and there were many attractions around especially if you want to immerse yourself in history 😊🍂 #wanderingme #ijustwander #itsmorefuninthephilippines
