Catania, busy gritty and full of life.
We had a great B&B opposite a lovely square, where the locals gathered each morning over a coffee and conversation. I could listen and watch them from our breakfast on the terrace.
We met up with friends from Australia late the first night and enjoyed a free Bellini festival concert in the park. An orchestra, singers, acrobatic performers all to great music. It was a beautiful warm evening and we enjoyed the ambiance.
Next morning we walked the short way in town and dodged the never ending stream of motorbikes, they stop for no one! The car drivers are much more polite.
We visited the bustling fish markets, where you could barter for all kinds of seafood. I loved listening to the merchants, loudly discussing prices, quantities and sometimes squabbling.
Mr Ellen10 is always on the lookout for an espresso and Catania did not disappoint.
We wandered through the massive produce and flee market. Such delicious tasting and smell produce.
We enjoyed good food at the restaurants down near the fish markets. We bought the obligatory gelato after dinner and wandered the back streets filled with graffiti and rubbish (there is definitely a rubbish problem) but it didn’t bother us.
There is numerous versions of the local police driving around, but we never saw anything concerning and we felt safe wandering around.
