When we arrive Vigan our first problem is where to eat, because I was very hungry then it’s 2 PM in the afternoon already I guess.
Since we are new in the place we are not familiar in the area. Thanks God people in the town are all very friendly. We found the place where to eat our late lunch :). Fast foods like Jollibee, McDonald, Chowking are all located at one place near the Vigan City Hall beside the famous Vigan City Cathedral.
At the place also Max Restaurant is there. Tourist are amazed with the structure of this fast foods and restaurants because they were designed like the old houses of Vigan City.
