A Festivity of fun and excitement

 

          Viva Vigan! As I graced on the beautiful Heritage City of the North, I was talen aback by the culture and preserved history from the past. I could see genuine smiles and received humble greetingsfrom my fellow Bigueños, and there I saw it in their eyes, how proud they are for their hometown.
