Stroll… Take a walk down Vigan’s liveliest and most historic street, pedestrianised Calle Crisologo. Enjoy and savour the street’s appealing blend of classical architecture, café-bars, souvenir shops and museums.
Watch… It’s possible to visit family looms to see weavers at work, creating hand-woven abel iloco, the bright, naturally dyed cotton textile particular to the city. The cloth may be fashioned into table runners and scarves, available to buy locally.
Eat… There’s definitely nothing plant-based about Vigan longganisa, the city’s much-loved speciality sausage. This hearty banger is made with pork, brown sugar, garlic, onions, bay leaves, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper and salt.
Swim… Take a dip in the warm South China Sea from gorgeous black-sand Mindoro Beach, a short journey by bicycle from Vigan’s historic centre. Sip a cool drink…
