A walk along Calle Crisologo
Calle Crisologo is probably the most famous street in Vigan, known for it's quaint old houses that survived over times. I was very fascinated on how they were able to maintain the ambiance of this place. And of course, cleanliness is really a plus factor.
Taking a walk or going around Calle Crisologo in a calesa makes you feel you are on a time travel. Old cobbled streets, calesas and old houses, a real silent witnesses of the past.
