Ciao Amalfi

TRAVEL · December 14, 2009

Bring on the Christmas Lights!

 

The holiday season is in full swing here on the Amalfi Coast! The food shops are full of Christmas treats like Panettone, Pan d’Oro and torrone. Every town from small to big is decked out in Christmas lights. Amalfi has scheduled a host of concerts and events for Natale e Capodanno ad Amalfi. This is my first Christmas season here in Italy, so you will all be experiencing it with me. I look forward to blogging all about it here on Ciao Amalfi!

Christmas lights are up all over the Amalfi Coast, and our first stop is the lovely little town of Minori. Their lights are beautiful this year! Above you see the main street heading up into town blanketed with white lights. Gorgeous! Below is the Church of Santa Trofimena.

Love Minori’s Christmas tree this year! You can see this piazza when you drive through town on the Amalfi Coast Road.

    Ciao Paula! Thanks for stopping by! I'm really enjoying all your Christmas cookie recipes on Bell'alimento. Yum!

    Ciao Anne! Oh I bet it was so beautiful in Paris before Christmas! That is something I would love to see. I'll be seeing Paris for the first time next month. Hope you will share photos and stories on your blog! 🙂

    Ciao likeschocolate! I was really impressed by the lights in Minori this year. I agree they are gorgeous! They are different in every city every year, so it's always a treat to see what will happen when the holiday comes! 🙂

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
