      Yes, I have to agree, like watching a natgeo episode. You should have your own tv show.
      I rarely post comments but I am compelled to do now to appreciate this video. Beautifully made ❤️👏
      I guess even when you post a collection of bloopers or behind the scene shots, will still enjoy watching.

    Vigan is a Filipino Town and a Colonial Town with many historical structures and are mostly built in Bahay na Bato. Our architectural structures isn’t Soley Spanish because it has mixture influences with a Filipino-Chinese and Spanish Colonial influences. And our architectural styles in our country are really hybrid even in some other Asian countries. Because we experience influences in our countries such as colonial era and the Spanish did care our culture a bit and decided to have some Filipino Influences with Chinese and Spanish with the help of a Filipino people. But our architectural style is overall Filipino.
    And overall this video has a really good presentation since I am an enthusiast of historical and grand structures and landmarks. Keep it up!

    I live in metro Vigan. Nothing comes close to Vigan when It comes to structures anywhere else in the Philippines. I always love my hometown. Correction lang apo: it’s a filipino architecture overall and not solely spanish. The houses have spanish, chinese, native styles that makes it unique. We also have pottery making which originated from China, a delicacy called Pipian that you can only find in Vigan.

    Vigan has the same feel as Luang Prabang, Laos except that the latter is cleaner and more cost friendly. Accommodation in LP is very luxurious reminiscent of Bali but with distinctive Laotian/French identity. There’s none of the very basic and poor man’s room as the apartelle you stayed at in Vigan. Even restrooms in hall in the wall restaurants are very clean and they smell great. I hope Vigan follows the example of Luang Prabang to attract more tourists.
