An Autumn Walk in Ravello

Autumn is a glorious time of year to visit the Amalfi Coast. One of my favorite spots to walk during any season is the town of Ravello located high in the mountains overlooking the coastline. If you enjoyed the Autumn Walk in Scala, you’re going to love coming along on a beautiful autumn walk through Ravello. Happy autumn wishes to all of you from the Amalfi Coast!

    A simply gorgeous virtual stroll, we have never been up in Ravello so late in the year, so have not seen these beautiful colours for ourselves.

      So happy you enjoyed the autumn walk in Ravello, Linda! It gets even more beautiful up in the mountains around Tramonti this time of year. More photos coming soon!

    LindyLou sent me over as she knows we’ll be staying in Montepertuso next spring.
    Your photographs are amazing and I’ll be back often to watch the seasons change until I can be there myself.

      Ciao Maggie! Thanks for your comment and for coming over from Linda’s great blog. I do apologize that I haven’t kept up with responding to comments very well while I was traveling in America. I’m so happy to hear you are planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast next spring! And you’ve picked a beautiful spot up in the mountains above Positano. I hope you’ll enjoy reading … and happy travel planning! 🙂

    Wow, this is stupendous. I never thought that a trip to that part of Italy in fall could be so enticing, but I may have to schedule a fall trip next time. What a beautiful part of the world you live in.

      Ciao Linda! Autumn is a really gorgeous time of the year on the Amalfi Coast – especially October. Often the colors are over by mid November, but this year the colors are lasting so long. It’s lovely!

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂

Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
