Mondello, a beautiful fishing village at the foot of
Monte Pellegrino, reachable through the
Parco della Favorita along a charming tree-lined avenue that connects it to the center of
Palermo, which is only few kilometers away. Originally just a
fishing village, it has been gradually turned into a nice town, very popular destination for
tourists from around the world. It overlooks a beautiful
sandy bay with typical tropical colors that characterize this
Mediterranean area.
Small
handicraft shops, restaurants, yacht clubs and a
bathhouse, the
Charleston, built onto the sea, surround a beautiful landscape with typical Mediterranean
climate.
In summer the temperature can reach 35 degrees, but it is
pleasant throughout the year, so much that as early as April, the beaches are already under assault by both tourists and locals, for the most young,
sunbathing and
relaxing, and enjoying a landscape of rare beauty and a
unique atmosphere.
At night, locals love strolling around the square in Mondello, having a drink or enjoying an
ice cream in the old "
Renato" kiosk, well known and loved not only by locals, for his matchless tasty
desserts.
A
mermaid-shaped fountain adorns the center of Mondello, offering at the same time a place to sit on to enjoy a short
break, to enjoy the wonderful
gulf, one of the most interesting wonders to behold in this corner of northern Sicily.
