SUBSCRIBEA trip to Vigan, 2
Around Vigan, one can visit its many offerings. But not much, after you’ve been to all the sites and places in such a small place, you tend to look beyond the city.
Left, horse carriages along Plaza Burgos just beside the towering belfry that is located away from the cathedral, a plan adopted by many churches due to the danger imposed by earthquakes.
Right, the empanadahan where one can get Vigan’s special empananda and okoy, deep fried shrimps formed into a cake using flour.
Left, Cafe Leona, located at the Leona Florentino ancestral house behind Plaza Burgos, Leona, was the first Filipina poetess to gain international recognition.
Right, her remains are buried inside the cathedral. You can see the marker in one of the pillars there. Definitely, Leona was one of the elites who were priviledged enough to be buried inside the church, just like other rich families of the times.
A visit to the burnayan where these huge jars of clay are made. Left, finished products, right, the horno or oven that’s quite long!
