Picturesque landscapes, beautiful churches and idyllic beaches, these are only some of the reasons why Ilocos holds its fort in every traveler’s list. The rich history of the region is manifest not only in its cobblestone alleys or horse-drawn carriages but also in the changes it has put forth. The elegance of its architecture and the quaint charms of its plazas are highlighted by the regional efforts to promote sustainable development via projects such as the Bangui Windmils. It also presents itself at innovations such as the Patapat elevated highway before one heads to visit the well preserved remnants of Ferdinand Marcs. Ilocos presents a marriage of the old and new.
HIGHLIGHTS
Don’t forget to sample the food fare Ilocos has to offer! Empanada, a deep fried pastry filled with ground longganisa (local sausage), vegetable and egg, is available nearly all throughout Ilocos but Batac is said to cook the best empanadas.
