Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur

from Facebook photobucket

When one speaks of Ilocos Sur, the first thing that comes to the mind is the

Vigan Heritage Houses.

But Ilocos Sur is not solely Vigan, it has the town of 

Sta. Maria!

The town of Sta. Maria has three things to boast!

Sta. Maria Church

The  Sta. Maria Church is one of the 4 Baroque churches included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The other 3 are the Paoay church, Miag-ao church and the San Agustin Church in Intramuros.

The second thing to be proud of is the Pinsal Falls! 

And lastly, the beach in Sta. Maria...

How to get there

Ride a bus from Manila going either to Laoag, Vigan or Abra. If traveling to Laoag or Vigan, the two best carriers are Partas and Farinas.

It's Really More Fun in 

Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur!
