WHAT TO SEE? Centuries-old house , hosre-drawn calesas, and good view of life in colonial-era Philippines are what make Vigan, the capital of Ilocos Sur , a worthwhile visit . Not to be missed: cobbled street M. Crisologo and Syquia homes, have been converted into museums. Not far from here is the Viagan Cathedral with its European-Chinese "earthquake baroque" architecture, and Plaza Burgos with its food hawkers selling crunchy, deep-fried okoy and emapanada snacks. Board a tricycle and head for the a handful of factories churning out traditional handmade burnay jars, or hit the the shops for a yard or two of abel iloko --oft, versatile hand-woven fabric seen in fashion shows worldwide.WHERE TO SAY: Accommodations are mostly Hotel and Gordion Inn.Grandpa's Hotel ofers both airconditoned and cheaper non-airconditioned rooms , while the Arzobisbado Socio-Pastrol center provides dorm-type lodging upon reservation..
