On your second day, immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Vigan. Start your morning with a visit to Calle Crisologo, a charming street lined with well-preserved Spanish colonial houses. Take a leisurely walk along the cobblestone streets and soak in the old-world charm. Explore the various shops selling local handicrafts, souvenirs, and delicious local delicacies. Don't forget to try the famous Vigan empanada, a savory pastry filled with ground meat, vegetables, and egg. In the afternoon, visit the Syquia Mansion Museum, another historical landmark in Vigan. This mansion was the ancestral home of former Philippine President Elpidio Quirino's wife, Doña Alicia Syquia. Learn about the Quirino and Syquia families' contributions to Philippine history and admire the well-preserved artifacts and memorabilia. Wrap up your day by enjoying a traditional calesa ride, a horse-drawn carriage that will take you around the city's main attractions.
