Urdaneta
Spend a half‑day in the city centre and a quick 1‑hour trip to Balungao hot‑spring resort; one night is enough.
Urdaneta is a commercial hub in eastern Pangasinan with a walkable centre, several malls, a museum and cathedral, plus easy access to Balungao hot‑spring adventure. One night covers the sights; add a half‑day for the resort if you like outdoor fun.
