An alley in the historic center of Cadiz in Spain

Un vicolo del centro storico di Cadice in Spagna

An alley in the historic center of Cadiz in Spain.
The alleys in the historic center of this Spanish town have all the typical charm of cities built around a port.
Even though the style of the houses is very different, the views remind me a lot of the alleys in the center of Genoa.

Here's where the town is located:

It is probably the oldest city founded in the western Mediterranean area by the Phoenicians in the 11th century BC, although its birth is now officially dated back to the end of the 8th century BC.
Founded with the original name of Gadir (in Phoenician: Gdr, fortress, with the same etymology as Agadir in Morocco) on what was once a small archipelago and now a single island, to exploit the rich trade routes with the Atlantic Ocean in the copper and tin trade. In ancient Greece it was known as Gadeira and in the times of the Roman Empire as Gades from which the current gentilic name of gaditano derives.

A sundial in the alley of Rapallo.
I love walking around our towns looking for particular corners or elements to photograph and share with the visitors of the site.
Some time ago, walking in via Mazzini, I noticed this beautiful restored sundial.
With the Latin phrase: “Sol omnibus lucet” (translation: the sun shines for everyone)!

The seaside part of the caruggio of Sestri Levante.
Via XXV Aprile, the caruggio for everyone, is the pedestrian street that crosses the entire center of Sestri Levante up to the two bays: the Baia del Silenzio and the Baia delle Favole.
This is the final part of the street; to the left you go towards silence, to the right towards fairy tales. You decide!

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria

Il caruggio del borgo di Sestri Levante in Liguria

The alleyway of the village of Sestri Levante in Liguria.
When I'm at home, almost every morning, I go downtown for a walk and a coffee.
I like to take a walk when there are few people and this happens especially in winter.
When sunny days happen, like the one on the day I took this photo, it is one of my favorite subjects for shots.

The caruggio of Mattarana a small village in Liguria.
Some time ago I went to eat ravioli in a famous trattoria in Mattarana, a small Ligurian village in the province of La Spezia.
After lunch I took a stroll around the village to take some photos and this is the main caruggio, with the church at the end, around which the few houses were built.
