I have been living in Brucoli for six months now and It is officially Spring. With the weather warming up walking into town is easy. This is my first spring here and I am starting to notice that the crowds are growing in the weekends. Parking is getting harder to find as the small roads become congested with vehicles that the visitors are making their own parking spots.
Fortunately, the parking situation is not an Issue for me. I can walk into town without a problem, which makes it easy to start exploring more of what this fishing hamlet has to offer. Usually, I am writing about places I have been, but Brucoli’s atmosphere has made me realize that there are some good restaurants that utilize what the sea has to offer and I would like to share some of my favorites.

Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Rich of history dating back from 753 B.C., it is full of archeological sites, attractions and things to do. With what Rome has to offer, you could stay a lifetime exploring it. No wonder they call it "The Eternal City.
Attracting millions of visitors every year. It is a perfect place to start your Italian trip. I had the luxury to fly in for a weekend and managed to see a lot. I arrived on a Friday morning, had all Saturday, and left on Sunday morning. Even with one full day, you would be surprised of what you can see.

Italy has been the country where I have spent the majority of my adult life. Being stationed at Aviano Air Base for 11 years can really make you a local. Not only did I pick up the language, but I learned all the good spots that are popular within the community. Growing up pastries where never my thing, but this place changed my mind and got me hooked.

So far everything I have been writing about here was about places I have been to. This time I want to talk about what happened to me as 2021 was coming to an end. I arrived in Sicily late September of 2021 excited and ready to hit the ground running. Then I realized that my passport was missing.

As Roman and Greek history came together, two of the most significant ancient archaeological sites from both civilizations are situated next to one another in the modern part of Syracuse. The Neapolis Archaeological Park of Siracusa contains the stunning Greek and Roman ruins that together make one of…

Siracusa (or Syracuse, as it is still often referred as in English) is a beautiful town, with plenty to see for at least a couple of days. This town is a fine cultural destination and very significant in developing the Mediterranean culture for over three millennia, which is why it is recognized by UNESCO's heritage list.

I could have chosen to live in a big city, but I really wanted to live somewhere away from the chaos that a big city has, but be near enough where I can drive to it. I wanted a small coastal town, with the essentials, which to me is a few bar options, some restaurants, grocery store and a bakery. Well, I found it and it and it puts me in the middle of two cool cities, Syracuse and Catania. Brucoli is the town I will be calling home for a while and I would love to share this hidden coastal pearl with you.
