The Poor Traveler and his friends only had one destination in our itinerary for the third day of our Ilocos Tour — Vigan! We actually had spent some time in this beautiful city on our first day but we had very limited time to see much of it. Because we had to be back in Manila by 7pm, we only had half a day to explore the old city and buy some pasalubong for our friends and relatives back in the capital.
We woke up at 6am, had a quick breakfast and hit the road immediately after. Our tour guide dropped us off at a street adjacent the famed Calle Crisologo. We only had three things in our agenda that morning — camwhore, shop, lunch.
We started scouring the area for Vigan longganisa but along the way, we found ourselves buying hats, shirts, and bottles of native vinegar while taking tons of picture.

Rowilda's Handloom Weaving
Muebles de Vigan Showroom
La Funeraria L. Baquiran
Mga kalesa sa Vigan
Joba's Souvenir Shop
Some closed down building
Cordillera Inn
Cafe Leona
We ended up spending more than 1500 on pasalubongs, much of it were longganisa and bagnet.
