My Trip Up North (part 4)

Vigan Calesa Tour...

One other thing I liked about Vigan (other than the preservation of history) was the Calesa Tour.  Calesas are the horse-drawn carriages that people used as their main form of transportation way back in the Spanish times.  It's amazing how many of these old-fashioned vehicles are still in operation... as tourist rides.  For only P150 per hour, we were given a very interesting and pleasant tour of the city.  Now why can't something like this be done here as well?



So ended our tour in Vigan, where old traditions became a way of life...  (one part left)
