5 Things to Do in Ilocos Province
Jan 15, 2013, 2:30 AM

This might help with your itinerary/planning:

1. Go church-hopping.

Being one of the provinces that best preserved our Spanish heritage, Ilocos has no shortage of old churches and bell towers. This doesn’t mean though that you’ll get bored of seeing one church after another because each one has its own unique beauty.

Thanks for sharing. The title should be "Provinces" instead as you are referring to Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. If I may add to your list:

6. Eat Vigan empanada, royal bibingka and longanisa.

If I may add further to the list:

6b. Eat bagnet, poqui-poqui, pinakbet and dinengdeng

7. Hit the beach at Blue Lagoon, Maira-ira Bay, Pagudpud

8. Visit the sand dunes near Paoay

Ilocos is a fantastic destination!
