Latest Vigan hotel reviews
Miscellaneous: Unlike other places here in the Philippines where one could easily buy a mobile phone load (ie tiangge, clinics, offices, parlor shops where staffs/employees sell prepaid loads), I noticed it doesn't apply in Vigan.
So be sure that your mobile phone have enough load before the day ends. Or carry prepaid cards with you in case you need to call somewhere anytime.
