As the winter sun lingers a few minutes longer each day, I reminisce on a late summer afternoon spent at Mondello Beach. It is only a short drive from Palermo, nestled between mountain and sea.
We arrived toward the end of the afternoon, approaching what photographers call the golden hour, one of the two times of day with optimal light for taking photographs. We began our exploration by strolling along the lungomare. Gelato is available to fuel your passeggiata, or you may choose to land at one of many cafes that line the shore. We saluted the retreat of the day's blazing temperatures with granita made from the local citrus bounty.
The white shore is dotted with neon beach umbrellas like an outsized flower garden. There is a choice between comfortable loungers or the classic beach towel on the sand.
Magnificent architectural treasures frame the scene. Medieval stone towers stand guard on the shore, surrounded by colorful shops and vendors ready to satisfy any passing craving or curiousity.
Close by you will find the Stabilimento Balneare, a white Art Nouveau style building with an elegant restaurant and bar. It rests on a pier, serenely hovering over the waves.
Mondello was once a marsh filled with plumes of mosquitos, but in the late 1800’s it was drained and tranformed into the seaside paradise you find today.
