If you are planning to go North this coming summer or anytime this year, make you trip worthwhile and a bit educational by stopping by at museums and historical places at La Union. Here are tourist attraction that you might want to check while visiting La Union.
Basilica of Our Lady of Charity in Agoo La Union. The church was built in 70′s but the design and structure is inspired by the old churches that can be found in other parts of the country. Agoo is also the oldest town in La Union. Museo de Iloko is also located here in Agoo
When you arrive at San Fernando City, you can visit San Fernando Plaza and take a look at their museum, Museo de La Union. Other attractions that is worth seeing in San Fernando are:

San Juan La Union not only boast of waves for surfing but also of rich culture in terms of pottery making. Along National Road, you can see small store selling pots and arts made of clay.
Luna is another place worth visiting in La Union, the pebble beach, the watch tower and of course the Shrine of Our Lady of Namacpacan.
Banggar is almost at the end part of La Union (2 or 3 more towns and you’re already in Ilocos). This place is very enchanting because of the magic of weaving. Old ladies line up and weave blankets the old way.
What are those square things? Are those samples of the pots they make in La Union?
yes it is!

I’m not a historian, but I love to delve into the history of place, its origin and how does it get her name, among others. I heard a lot of La Union, but I’m not familiar with the museums and historical places there. It takes a good time to visit La Union in some other days.

I’d love to see them do their craft. maybe I can learn a thing or two.

I did not realize there are many things to enjoy in La Union, but thanks for your info., But La Union as countryside in marvelous enough, I used to love the green valleys and and the handicrafts stalls along the road and it’s been so long now to remember other beautiful places that i have been to in la Union in the early 2000.

I don’t know if I’ll have enough moolah to tour around the Philippines but if I’ll be given a chance, I will definitely visit all these places that really fascinates me. I didn’t expect that Philippines is just so beautiful.
