"Vigan City a Journey Through Time and Heritage"

 The moment I went to Vigan City again with my friends, I was greeted by the charm of Vigan's beauty I was so astonished to see the gorgeous view. The streets were lined with vintage houses, calesas, and smiling locals selling souvenirs. 

Our first stop was Calle Crisologo and honestly, it felt like walking into a Spanish movie set! The famous Calle Crisologo represents the city’s colonial past, while its people continue to uphold traditional practices such as pottery-making and weaving. The  Burnay Jars and Abel  Ilocos textiles are tangible links to centuries of craftsmanship. Then I went to a pottery shop where I tried making my own Burnay Jar it was harder than it looked, but fun! Later, I stopped by a weaving center to watch women create colorful Abel Iloco fabrics. Their patience and skill amazed me.

Vigan thrives as a tourist destination while maintaining its authenticity. Local ordinances protect historical structures, and cultural festivals like the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival celebrate the city’s heritage. Tourism not only boosts the economy but also strengthens cultural pride among residents
