We got into accident while riding Calesa for the first time.

Let me guys show you a place. It looks like a place in Spain but we are actually in one of the cities here in the Philippines. Let me take you in around to the charming city of Vigan, nestled in the heart of Ilocos Sur, Philippines. This place has a rich history that dates back to the 16th century, when it was a bustling trading post along the Mestizo River.
Before the Spanish arrived, Vigan was already a commercial center, with Chinese traders sailing in from Asia, exchanging goods for gold, beeswax, and other local products. The city's strategic location made it a crucial stopover for merchants traveling between the Pacific coast towns of New Spain and the rest of the Spanish Empire.
In 1572, the Spanish established their first colonial settlement in Vigan, and the city quickly became a major hub for trade and commerce. The Spanish colonial architecture that still stands today and the you currently see is a testament to the city's importance during this era. The cobblestone streets, the ancestral houses, and the unique blend of Filipino, Ilocano, and Chinese influences with Spanish design which contributes to Vigan's distinct cultural identity.
Over time, Vigan became a symbol of the global trade network during the Spanish colonial era. Its well-preserved architecture and cultural heritage made it a significant cultural site globally. In 1999, the city was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its preservation of Spanish colonial architecture and its cultural significance.
Today, Vigan is a major tourist attraction in the Philippines. Visitors from around the world flock to the city to experience its rich history and cultural heritage. They stroll along the cobblestone streets, marveling at the ancestral houses, and sample the traditional cuisine that is a fusion of Spanish, Filipino, and Chinese flavors.
In 2015, Vigan was recognized as one of the New7Wonders Cities, along with six other cities worldwide. This recognition further solidified Vigan's status as a significant cultural and historical site, attracting even more tourists and cultural enthusiasts to the city.
As you walk through Vigan's historic city center, you can almost hear the whispers of the past. The city's unique blend of cultures and architectural styles is a testament to its rich history and its enduring appeal. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a bygone era, Vigan is a place that will leave you enchanted.
