The Mestizo District is popularly called Vigan where Vigan
is the capital of Ilocos Norte and it’s the place that holds the most effective
preserved historical architectures of the country. It is that the different
name of an area within the Philippines that has attracted numerous foreigners
from around the world.
One of the best traveler attractions of
those activities was the Manila-Acapulco sailing
vessel Trade wherever completely different materials were
sent from Europe. The materials used are embodying bricks,
pebbles and adobes. The complete village was established method back
on the sixteenth century. Later, community and trade activities
ensued on the person watercourse.
Actually, they’re not original; they were the homes
throughout the Spanish constitution. When you reach that place; you’ll
instantly see the cobble-stoned streets that have those distinctive homes.
The Vigan Heritage Village now added modern
buildings. Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, Jollibee, etc. can be seen
in this place and you’ll be surprised that they are built just like the Spanish
houses. But despite the modernization of these establishments, their
architecture is still related to how the Spanish built the houses centuries
ago.
It is good that until now this place is still open for the
tourists. The people there are accommodating and they will respect every
tourist who goes there. It is also a clean place so you will enjoy fresh air.
When you’re there you will feel that you’re an old people.
There are a lot of things you can do in the Vigan
Heritage Village that are truly enjoyable. It has two ways to explore the
place. You can burn some fats by walking and witness the different houses built
by the Spanish; or you can ride the kalesa near the Vigan Church to. If you
prefer the latter, you get the opportunity to explore more on the old cultural
ways of the Ilocos residents and this is more on farming.
