This is where we stayed, a coastal town, really a suburb of Palermo. Being that close to the metropolis it was more closed in, but we had a good size pitch with a view of the mountain crags. Evening shadows, unfortunately, but the neighbours opposite seemed to have washing out most days, so not good for tasteful photos.

 

The seaside in town amounted to a small fishing harbour and volcanic rocks along the coastline. A pavement and then a pathway followed the coast for a good few miles making a pleasant evening walk.

Strolling back towards the town at dusk, heading west that is, gave us some golden sunsets. This next photo is interesting because, in the clear evening air, the long headland of the Zingaro Reserve is silhouetted about 40 miles away. That’s where we were at our previous destination.

But now, on Wednesday 19^th Feb, it’s goodbye to Palermo. We’re going to Sant Alessio Siculo on the east coast, under Mt. Etna’s shadow.
