Vigan - Joins the New 7 Wonder Cities of the World

After reading that vigan has joined the 7 new Wonder Cities of the World, I had to go to the City and see it for myself.  Vigan is located in the western coast of Luzon of the Philippine Islands, facing the China Sea and has become one of the very wonderful cities of the Philippines.  You will find there that the buildings have been well preserved and would take you back in time during the Spanish Era when they first took over the Philippines.  And when you walk through the streets of Calle Crisologo, you will be greeted with the strong Spanish-philippine culture through the different work of art of the dwellers staged in their beautiful Spanish buildings. I just love how all the streets have been preserved.  And the food, Oh the food! I just love to eat there as you sit in the streets with everyone around you having a good time. There is a small part in Dumaguete that look similar and in Cebu city particularly in Carcar but it is far from the very well developed and kept place of Vigan.  No wonder it has qualified as among the 7 wonder Cities of the World. You should visit there :)

Best way getting there is by plane or if you love to do road trip, it will be a long ride from Manila. But you can always drop by other cities along the way.
