Aside from the Spanish heritage houses lining this northern town’s streets, Vigan is also known for its longganisa. These plump, brown links of spicy meat, distinctly flavored with garlic and Ilokano sugar cane vinegar, are a requisite breakfast item. The Vigan longganisa is so famed that the Ilokanos begin their year by celebrating its existence. And I don’t know about you, but a breakfast of the legendary sausage at Calle Crisologo’s picturesque cobbled streets sounds like it’s worth the 10 hour drive.
