I know I'll be exploring Ilocos Region but I never thought I will be there anytime soon. What makes Ilocos famous for me it's because of the following attractions: the mega structure of Bangui Windmills - featured in National Geographic channel; Paoay Church - one of UNESCO heritage site; Calle Crisologo - remnants of Spanish descent of Filipinos in Ilocos; and Vigan longganisa for food lovers. These reasons may not be wrong but diffinitely not totally right. Ilocos is not just a location of a mega-structure, a place of old churches, and a site for Spanish fossils - there's more to it than what are featured in magazines and travel channels.
I already knew it'll take too much of our time to travel from Manila to Ilocos, so to save time and energy - we decided to travel at night. This is also to avoid travelling at noon when it gets really hot on the road and inside a crowded bus, to get some sleep along the way and to avoid the crowded passengers during the day. From Partas Bus terminal in Aurora, Cubao - we decided to board an aircon bus to depart at 10PM. We have heard it'll take more or less 10hours to reach Vigan, Ilocos that's why we chose this schedule - knowing will arrive early in morning in Calle Crisologo.
