    Kayang-kaya ng sedan, sir. Walang masyadong rough roads, kundi yung mga small portions sa Ilocos Sur na ginagawa nila. Well, at least that was the case when we travelled to Pagudpud last April 24 to 26, 2009.

    NLEX - SCTEX (all the way) - turn left after exiting SCTEX (T-junction), travel about 8 kms, turn right at PETRON gas station, when you reach McArthur (T-junction), turn right. Follow the National Road all the way to Laoag. When you reach Laoag, you'll go into the downtown area after going down the big bridge.

    This is the view of the bridge, but going the opposite direction (pasensya na):



    To your right, you should see this church and this bell tower while going down the said bridge (magkalapit lang ang dalawang structures na iyan):

    St. William Cathedral (Laoag):


    Bell tower:


    You'll reach a roundabout (rotonda, pero squarish ang area), turn right, then immediately turn left. Follow that road and you'll reach Pagudpud after about 80 kms (2 hours).

    HTH.

    I've been there 2 times, first using a sedan then next was an MPV. We just left a few hours when the couple drowned. Before we departed I tried to go to the beach for a last swim pero grabe talaga ang alon para ka lalamunin, there was a typhoon that time.

    You have to visit the windmill too, nice view, and the viaduct.
