Sto. Nino Cold Spring is one of Camiguin’s top tourist destinations. By its name, you can easily expect fresh and cold spring water. I had no plans to get wet, especially with the temperature of the water, it was really a NO NO. Because of its super dupper clear water, I dipped into the water and experienced how great this cold spring is. I was also stunned by the bottom of the pool, there are no silts because it is made of concrete.
The old Guiob Church was damaged by the volcanic eruption that happened centuries ago, damaging the other structures on the island. The Old Church Ruin of Camiguin is composed of meter-wide walls and huge columns. These walls and columns are made of coral stones and are now covered with mosses and plants.
It is also called Mena Crisologo Street, named after Mena Pecson Crisologo, who is the most respected son of Ilocos. He wrote Mining wenno Ayat ti Kararwa, which is compared to Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere; he is also the author of Don Calixtofaro de la Kota Caballero de la Luna and Codigo Municipal. With these stunning heritage houses, Calle Crisologo is definitely the top tourist attraction in Vigan City.

I spent an hour here and felt relaxed while my body was submerged in the warm water.

The Province of La Union is the surfing capital of the North. The gigantic yet friendly waves make this place a paradise for surfers, well, let's include those beach addicts. The beach has a long stretch of fine grey sand with a clear view of the golden sunset. The sand has a mixture of shells and colorful corals. For people who are afraid of the waves, like me, having a wide view of the emerald water with surfers dancing on their boards is just amazing.
Also known as the Minor Basilica and Parish of Saint Martin of Tours is considered the largest church building in Asia, standing 88.6 meters (291 feet) long and 48 meters (157 feet) wide. I am eager to visit this old church because an earthquake hit the province and it created a crack in its wall.
