We left Pagudpud early in the morning to continue our Cagayan-Ilocos trip and our first stop for our third day was at the famous Bangui Windmills.
Well, just a day ago we were just looking at it from afar at the Saud Beach and now we have a closer encounter to these 15 turbines of 70 meters high from the ground.
This was a project of the Marcos clan to help reduce the greenhouse effect that cause global warming. These windmills which are found to be the first windfarm here in the Philippines is said to be the biggest in the Southeast Asia that it actually provides 40% of the energy needed in Ilocos Norte.
A trip to Pagudpud will never be at its best without visting and taking lots of photos of these windmills. It was just so wonderful and very pleasing to the eyes that we even jumped for joy when we finally stepped on the Bangui Bay where these turbines are footed. It was one of the spots in Ilocos that we can’t forget. We were so lucky to see the windfarm since not everyone is given a chance to travel and see this kind of creation.
We were truly inloved with these turbines, and so we found ourselves buying wooden miniatures of these jumbo windmills which only cost a hundred and fifty pesos (P150).

Though these windmills can be seen from afar at the main road to/from Laoag, the main rocky street to the Bangui Bay is just so hard to find, so when planning to go there make sure to ask the locals for the right directions.
Bangui Windmills is more than 3 hours from Tuguegarao City Cagayan, an hour from Laoag, Ilocos Norte, 2 and half hours from Vigan, Ilocos Sur and is 9-12 hours away from Manila.
How to get there:
a. From Tuguegarao, ride a GMW or Florida Liner bus to Laoag, Vigan, or Abra, and drop off at Pagudpud's Baduang Market.
b. From UST Manila, ride a Florida Liner or RCJ bus to Pagudpud or to Cagayan via Pagudpud, and drop off at the Pagudpud's Baduang Market.
