I thought that I’ve already uploaded this one but upon recheck of my photos for this blog, forgot it. Anyway…

Crisolog St. in Vigan City is the primary tourist destination in this UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also where the most well preserved ancestral houses in the city are located. However, its really quite a short walk and a known tourist trap.

Left, Crisolog St. during the day with calesas (horsedrawn carriages) plying the well maintained stone pavement. Right, At night, the ancestral houses are eeriely lighted and really looks creepy.

Shops catering to tourists also line this street. From the usual souvenir t-shirts, trinkets and what have you to, as what Sidney commented in my photoblog: “contemporary antiques” (right).

Once you finish your walk in this particular street and, for me, your Vigan trip ends.
