Detourista
My last visit in San Juan, La Union was way back in 2012 during our Lakbay Norte tour. We only spent one night in town, at Click hereKahuna Beach Resort and Spa. This time, I and travel buddy, Gael, enjoyed a longer trip with detours to natural and heritage spots nearby.
This surfing hotspot had grown a hipster feel to it, attracting the upscale Manila millennial crowds. If you go here, do explore the delectable & Instagram-worthy food scene.
For our day trips, we started with a trek to Tangadan Falls and then a quick tour in San Fernando, the capital of La Union.
Then, we traveled northwards to the town of Luna, which had a beautiful pebble beach along "Bahay na Bato," a new attraction in the province.
Finally, we did a stopover at the grapes farm in Bauang on our way back to Manila.
