Catania market

Mamma Mia! The produce and fish in the market were a sight to behold. Fennel, radicchio, and cauliflower bigger than I’ve ever seen. ….. and the delicious blood oranges! Which is squeezed into a deep red juice!

A huge array of fresh caught fish – from big tuna and swordfish to sardines, prawns, mussels, clams and, of course, octopus.

Taormina, Sicily – first impressions

We arrived after 24 hours of traveling (without sleep for me!) and after checking in to our lodging at B&B Tancredi we set off to explore part of this lovely town which perches on cliffs above the Mediterranean and with Mount Etna hovering nearby.

Photos only – info later!
