Winter Rest on the Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast Travel Winter Mist Ravello
– A dreamy glimpse of Villa Cimbrone in Ravello lost in the winter clouds

I don’t get the winter blues as the change of seasons just feels right to me. I enjoy watching the way the light shifts and the color palette of nature takes on more muted hues. Gone are the bright bursts of orange beach umbrellas against the expansive blue sky, the brilliant glow of hot pink bougainvillea in the summer sun or the crisp colors on chilly autumn day. Everything softens a bit in the winter, especially up in the mountains when low clouds meander through the villages like Ravello and Scala leaving behind a mysterious atmosphere.

It’s not the weather that postcards and screensavers are made of, but it’s no less magical. If you’re one that loves a little bit of romance, it’s easy to get lost in the clouds as they intimately weave their way through the mountains. Everyone once in awhile the sun even shines though, if you’re patient.

Of course, some days the clouds and rain settle in and the whole world seems to disappear just for a little bit. But aren’t there times of year that feels kind of good? As I wrap up with a blanket and my cat cuddles close for warmth, the Amalfi Coast is covered with a blanket of clouds and rests awhile, too.

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! 🏈
