The town is typically Italian,<br> with narrow cobblestone streets,<br> multicolored plastered houses,<br> with many cafes and restaurants. Everything mixed up here: cheap souvenir shops and expensive brand shops,<br> such as Guess and Gucci; the smell of freshly brewed coffee,<br> rolls with vanillin and seafood; unhurried tourists and local residents who cut through the peace and quiet of the city on motorcycles ...\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0024.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaGBM9TrPYbD3zDCryY9cfuyrYjtY6vz7KqUVmQc2nNbw\/IMG-20180131-WA0024.jpg)\n\nAt first I met the sea and the beaches in Cefalu,<br> and they,<br> I must say,<br> fell in love with me: the beaches here are sandy,<br> with a fine,<br> clean sand,<br> and the water in the sea is literally velvety and also unusually clean and transparent. In the evening we tasted deliciously at the restaurant and strolled along the Cefalu embankment,<br> and then we dipped a little into the center of the city. Although the \"center\" it is difficult to call,<br> because the whole city is very small and compact,<br> and is located,<br> or rather,<br> stretched along the sea. The promenade along the sea is quite wide and well-equipped: there are descents to the sea,<br> benches,<br> to rest and small areas so that you can admire the sea,<br> especially at sunset of the sun.\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0029.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQu73fBgF7j1o6QiRnjWHgqbqSak48CPaWM3ahfHxyvaj\/IMG-20180131-WA0029.jpg)\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0028.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYF4tsstWJfu9wGd9uM2rNSBpt5psaMcuZMBEzkHmYo43\/IMG-20180131-WA0028.jpg)\n\nThe first time I saw such maps of Sicily in Sicily. Very convenient,<br> I'll tell you ... Later,<br> similar cards were encountered not only in Cefalu,<br> but also in other cities of the island.\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0032.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaSnUjzgKEDuXUnY9w5ae8iU4XW4Ky673j93rfAg7CWvM\/IMG-20180131-WA0032.jpg)\n\nThis is how we managed to see the city of Cefal on the day of arrival. But a more thorough acquaintance with him,<br> we started one day early in the morning. Walk through the city in silence,<br> without the turmoil,<br> to see him as sleepy - it was a real pleasure. Well,<br> therefore,<br> I invite you to walk around the city instead of me.\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0026.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWCU2Yhx5gid8bNhECMpLozjFm8PT6LoUZDMdmx47h2RU\/IMG-20180131-WA0026.jpg)\n\nOn the road there are small souvenir shops. Along with small souvenir shops on the road,<br> I met quite a few small shops,<br> too,<br> but offering clothes and accessories of the \"luxury\" category. And also confectionery shops with unusual desserts in form. The streets,<br> albeit narrow,<br> but clean.\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0025.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYB5FsEtftVYRYLR43dfwtNJKYNAWs1NmZLVUKJPreHVf\/IMG-20180131-WA0025.jpg)\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0030.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZt2WxV8wwkXWqMawXtrqYwb1ivF7P8RMbYXeNu4PjaK2\/IMG-20180131-WA0030.jpg)\n\nWell,<br> we got to the Cathedral. Of course,<br> compared to the Cathedral in Montreal (a reference to the story about him will be given at the end of the review),<br> this looks less solid in the interior. However,<br> it dates from the 12th century AD. e. and the building looks also monumental.\nAs it turned out,<br> the cathedral opens only at 8:30 in the morning,<br> and so my husband and I had a little more walk,<br> because I still wanted to get inside. On the square in front of the cathedral are quite a few different cafes and restaurants,<br> here,<br> even in the early hours,<br> quite a lot of people. It is felt that this place is popular not only among tourists,<br> but also among local residents.\n\n![IMG-20180131-WA0034.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQYufmoVVUd47GzCwtmbcoFQeGC132hUu551MeqQa6uuq\/IMG-20180131-WA0034.jpg)\n\nThat's such a nice thing we had a morning walk around the city. I want to say that later we visited many cities of Sicily. But Cefal remained in memory as the most colorful,<br> most picturesque corner of the island. I'm fascinated by it!\n\n!steemitworldmap 38.028081 lat 14.022675 long d3scr",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"swmchallenge\",<br>\"challenge\",<br>\"steemitworldmap\",<br>\"travel\",<br>\"photography\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaGBM9TrPYbD3zDCryY9cfuyrYjtY6vz7KqUVmQc2nNbw\/IMG-20180131-WA0024.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQu73fBgF7j1o6QiRnjWHgqbqSak48CPaWM3ahfHxyvaj\/IMG-20180131-WA0029.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYF4tsstWJfu9wGd9uM2rNSBpt5psaMcuZMBEzkHmYo43\/IMG-20180131-WA0028.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmaSnUjzgKEDuXUnY9w5ae8iU4XW4Ky673j93rfAg7CWvM\/IMG-20180131-WA0032.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWCU2Yhx5gid8bNhECMpLozjFm8PT6LoUZDMdmx47h2RU\/IMG-20180131-WA0026.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYB5FsEtftVYRYLR43dfwtNJKYNAWs1NmZLVUKJPreHVf\/IMG-20180131-WA0025.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZt2WxV8wwkXWqMawXtrqYwb1ivF7P8RMbYXeNu4PjaK2\/IMG-20180131-WA0030.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmQYufmoVVUd47GzCwtmbcoFQeGC132hUu551MeqQa6uuq\/IMG-20180131-WA0034.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
