"Hola" the word to greet someone, a word that came from the country of Spain "The land of the setting sun" The most powerful and influential nation on 16th century not only in Europe or Latin America, but also in one of the countries in Asia, yes you heard it right, Asia. We all know that most of Asian countries has a great percentage of Chinese influence but there's only one nation in Asia where it has a touch of European culture, and it is Philippines.
Philippines was colonized by Spain last February 13, 1565, by the expedition and arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi. It has the influence of food, characteristics, words and heritages, when it comes to great view of Spanish old heritages, we're not only visit it in Cebu but also in Ilocos Sur, "one of the most historically rich locations in the country that mixes the colorful Ilocano culture with colonial Spanish heritage. It was founded by the Spanish conquistador Juan de Salcedo in 1572." -
Vigan City is the best spain-like city with it comes to old Spanish heritage, it can give you some spanish vibes and goosebumps stories that what Vigan get through before. Vigan City has a great contribution towards history and tourism. It is one of the philippines pride no matter what that spanish colonization leave some dark past yet it create light and knowledge for future generations.
