Pagudpud, Ilocos
Not quite the “Boracay of the North” as some tag it, but Pagudpud has earned
its rightful spot with its laid-back and idyllic charm. To boot, you can sample
the regional cuisine and set sights on Ilocos’ Spanish-era houses and churches
after a drive to Ilocos Norte’s capital.
It is considered the largest island in the Philippines. The hills and
mountains are luxuriant, the valleys productive. It lies 45 miles north
of Laoag City, the provincial capital, and about 350 miles north of
Manila — about the equal distance between Los Angeles and the San
Francisco Bay Area. Creeks, streams and waterfalls splash the landscape
and spill into the South China Sea. All around, the ocean and sky are
awash in varying shades of blue.
