If you go to Catania can not refrain from going into one of the famous kiosk and ask for a "lemon lemon" or better known as "lemon lemon"! Of course, if you like lemon ... variant for the lovers of Mandarin is the "mandarin lemon ... Catania summer drink (along with some others) you can drink at any time, but the ideal for me is the evening when the heat of the city and you choke down that beautiful hood wet, it stops the wind and set the sun! or after dinner, perhaps heavy, before going to sleep! ah ... What is it? and a drink, soft drink, refreshing and digestive-based ... guess what? ... lemon! lemon syrup (homemade, of course), mid / lemon juice and soda water to taste a version in Mandarin, the syrup is to Mandarin!
With a glass of lemon lemon you can start the tour of Catania ... WHITE
stands now, the sun that illuminates and warms, the sea of \u200b\u200bpeople, the length of Etnea!
Catania is a city in the south who behaves like a northern city. Proud and made challenges you to live. I warn you now that will not be easy to get used to her. With its syncopated rhythms and her sunny, you feel that invites you to try. Slow and fast turns. The first morning is fast: wake up at 5, 6 to prepare the fish market, newsagents and bars are open before 6 am, downtown bustles with life and in the port area - fish, fruit and vegetables are sorted, the bakers begin churn out bread to be sold, supplied after all the other exercises. Then slows down: by mid-summer morning you go to the beach, leaving the ladies to go shopping (if you have already been to the market to choose the fish!), The wind cool you and bring you relief from the smell of the sea, visitors begin their tours ... we need a slush! with coffee and croissants of course! At a time when it's time for lunch, back fast: eat all you can eat so much, we eat well! but you do not eat so late! Unless there is some event to celebrate ... Even then, however, do not start so late! But maybe it ends in the evening ... Full stomach slows down the pace and the afternoon is slow: there you go to bed! the heat is terrible, but it is impossible to get out, so as not to evaporate! and when you wake up it is too late! and then fast again: people dress in an instant, time to make a trip to town ... time and ice cream! Etna on the way there are good ice cream! then the walk begins at the top (farther away really!) to the Main street, from the village square (or piazza Cavour), University area, then descends to the garden of Villa Bellini, with the staircase and fountain. Continuing to get the square Stesicoro ... going to the left you can take a detour "feature" to the "Chinese Quarter" and feel a bit 'in the East ... and foreign! continuing along Etnea the way you get to the square of the Rector's office and the City ... and finally here we are in front of the Duomo and the column of the elephant! Behind this square there is a market for fish, turning the area you can admire some Roman ruins, the Teatro Massimo Bellini and going farther to get to the castle Ursino. Then comes the evening, slowly: it is time for a kumquat, a cannoli, a digestive walk and of course ... lemon lemon!
But this is not intended as a guide. Catania is mainly a city full of life, with great dignity, you wonder. The sea is hidden, he will not be the main attraction of this city. And yet there. Turn the corner and surprise you! The blue sea, the palms of the waterfront, miles of beach or playa.
I told the summer in Catania, I have lived ... then the winter will be the next chapter ... Meanwhile, a beautiful lemon lemon for everyone!
