Native products set against old, crumbling walls. What better way to entice a customer?

Vigan is famous for their jars. So even their trash can is shaped in the form of a jar! Shot this at the Salcedo Plaza, across Burgos Plaza.

Famous Vigan bagnet and longganisa! While shooting pictures, I stumbled upon this restaurant. I talked to the owner a bit and she let me taste their longganisa. Pretty good, so I bought that, together with bagnet.

Saw this painting while I was paying for the shirts. Is that Imelda? I wondered. Sure looks like her. Imelda Marcos is still here in Vigan. No wonder, since her husband is an Ilocano. They practically owned the whole of Ilocos, I assume!

Finally! The Crisologo Street at Vigan. I've long dreamed of going to Vigan, and here it is. Shopped a lot, mostly food.
