Northwest Luzon / Lingayen to San Fernando, La Union / Agoo
The Museo Iloco in front of the Basilica and the Imelda Park with a nice bamboo tree house nearby were worth seeing. However, all of these structures as well as the entire commercial center of the town were heavily damaged by the earthquake of July 16, 1990. The black sand beach about 3km (2mi) out of town is not the best by itself but the waters there are good for wind surfing and sailing. Accommodation Agoo Playa
Hotel Tel 290, 234 Sea Front
Apartments Much destruction was wrought by the quake of July 16, 1990 in the stretch between Agoo and Balaoan. The 103year old church of St Lucy parish in Aringay collapsed and St Nichole's Church, built in 1787, in Balaoan was destroyed. ********** Theaters like Fabbri's employ choreographers, dancers, musicians and costumers, all contributing to a so-called tango economy that is growing 25 percent a year -- triple the pace of overall economic expansion. ********** |
