Christmas Season During pandemic in Vigan city Heritage
Here in Vigan City we have the most famous tourist spot that we call the
Heritage Village or what we call Calle Crisologo. This tourist spot has a very
deep history and a lot of people want to visit this place because it has a
beautiful view and history, Calle Crisologo is worth visiting both day and
night. Each timezone has it's own charm and features. At day you will be
enjoying the numerous antique souvenir shops around, as well as little museums
like the Father Burgos Museum and the Crisologo Museum. These establishments are
all settled within the Spanish heritage houses that give the car-free street
it's charm. Also during day, make sure you will be enjoying riding a
Spanish-style horse carriage called 'kalesa'. This way you can get a nice little
tour around some very culturally rich heritage sceneries; the old very
prosperous Spanish colonial area in Vigan. The well preserved houses at Calle
Crisologo (or Mena Crisologo) are mostly ancestral homes of well-known people of
the past. These were properties of the richer families that prospered during the
period of vigorous Filipino-Chinese trading (products like abel cloth, gold,
indigo, tobacco). All these houses are well-preserved due to strong structures
and good care. The thick walls, huge doors, red-tiled roofs, and staircases
leading to rooms with high ceilings are of phenomenal use to your picture-taking
ambitions and are there to be admired. As stated earlier, most of these homes
are now turned into shops, restaurants, museums, and inns; making sure your day
within the Calle Crislogo area will be rich, colorful, and enjoyable. The way
that they celebrate the Christmas in Calle Crisologo they put up some Christmas
trees and some other Christmas decors. And the no.1 thing that they do on
Christmas day was attending to the Christmas Mass in Cathedral Church beside the
Burgos. A lot of people attending the mass and that was very memorable for us to
attend an mass before the Christmas eve. We need to thank our god for his
kindness and celebrate his birthday in that day. After that you can see a lot of
people visiting the Calle Crisologo to take pictures and to buy some souvenirs
and others. And you can’t only see the beauty of vigan in Calle Crisologo, in
any part of the Vigan City you can see many Christmas décor and the most
exciting in Vigan are the Lights and the Christmas décor’s in front of the Vigan
City Hall. That is how they celebrate the Christmas in Vigan City.
