I loved Siracusa. For many reasons, it’s very different from the image I had of Sicily before our grand tour. On a whole, Siracusa was definitely the most charming and romantic place we visited. I could talk for hours just about the almond-shaped piazza, but I’ll spare you.
It’s not the best photo, but I hope the almond is at least suggested.
Most spiritual moment in Siracusa goes to my cathartic sunset run along the sea on Ortigia (the historic island that the city stretches out over), during 90% of which I listened to “When We Were Young” by Adele.
