We are staying in Agrigento for five nights at Terrazze di Montelusa, owned by the gracious Francesco Foti. We have stayed here before, and looked forward to returning. Francesco didn't disappoint, giving us a two room suite. It is beautifully decorated with antique furniture and lovely artwork....
 |
| We enjoyed an aperitivo on the terrace, watching the sunset. |
 |
The B&B is on the top two floors, with terraces
at both ends.
|
 |
Upon arriving, we were able to park right across from the B&B, and we never moved the car!
|
Some views and interesting sights around Agrigento....
 |
A sculpture dedicated to remembering women who have
suffered violence, and standing firm against it as a community. |
 |
| Kitties going for a ride? |
 |
The Church of Santo Spirito was decorated in high relief
stucco by Serpotta, in the early 1700s. |
 |
| As a wise person said, art is what you see in it! |
 |
| A Welcoming stairway... |
 |
| Wanted to chat, but he wasn't talkative. |
 |
| We had lunch in a cafe' in Piazza Purgatorio. So far we're still here. |
 |
| Great little fruit and vegetable market just below our B&B... |
 |
A church on the left, Pirandello Theater in the middle,
a cafe' on the right...so Sicilian! |
 |
| A view of the piazza from the church steps... |
 |
| Couldn't figure out which door to use... |
 |
Seen in a school window, the closest thing you'll see to snow in Agrigento!
We're starting to take this vacation seriously, Aperol Spritz and Campari Soda
at 11am! Actually, we were sitting at a cafe' waiting for a parade. Yeh, right! |
Well, yes, we were waiting for a parade! More on that later...
