Rainy Days in Amalfi Town

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Rain Fountain

 

On a perfect sunny day, this fountain near the waterfront in Amalfi of two figures huddling under an umbrella might seem a little out of place. Today, as the rain poured down, these two seemed to fit right in with all the Amalfitans and tourists huddling under umbrellas nearby. The water poured down off the umbrellas, ran down the streets and into the rough sea.

It’s not just maltempo, or bad weather, that has arrived in Amalfi. Over the last week winter arrived! Or, at least, Amalfi has packed up its summer feel and stored it away for next year. In the course of one week, all the small boats that line the harbor have been removed, as well as the temporary docks they build every summer. And just in time before the rough seas came! Here’s a short video from Amalfi today:

 

 

Amalfi in the rain and during the winter months has a different sort of beauty, but is nonetheless striking. Today reminded me of that and made me look forward to the coming months.

    Ciao Anne! Yes, the sea is certainly magical here year round. I just can't believe it wasn't long ago that I was swimming at that beach!

    Ciao Chuck! I love the sound of the sea when it is rough. I could watch it for hours. Glad you enjoyed!

    Ciao Linda Lou! I second that! 🙂 I love the change of seasons and the different times of the year here. There is always something different to see!

Last month I did a mini staycation in Positano and Last month I did a mini staycation in Positano and I loved it! Even though it’s just down the coast from Amalfi, I enjoyed the quiet of the early morning and breakfast with those famous Positano views. And a relaxed dinner without a long (and twisty!) drive home. This view from above Arienzo beach is one of my favorites of Positano.
