The center of the village of Vernazza in the Cinque Terre.
Some time ago, in winter, I was in Vernazza and it was almost shocking to walk in such an uncrowded village.
Right in January and with the Sentiero Azzurro closed you can fully enjoy the village.

Where I took this photo:
The streets of the center of Cadiz in Spain.
Walking through the historic center of the beautiful city of Cadiz you walk along these very characteristic streets where the windows almost all have these very protruding wooden frames.
And then, normally, the ship docks right in front of the center and in five minutes you are already there!

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.

The characteristic Via Penisola Levante in Sestri Levante.
One of the most beautiful streets in Sestri, the one that leads first to the small walk of the Baia del Silenzio and then, continuing, goes up the Penisola (hence the name) and arrives at the church of San Nicolò and the Castelli.
I used the telephoto for this which is a little squashed but the effect is desired!

The Costa Diadema seen from the streets of Stavanger.
Until a few months ago I was on board the Costa Diadema (of Costa Crociere) doing fjord cruises.
After many years I went out for a walk in the colorful neighborhood of Fargegaten (which I absolutely didn't remember) and from there the yellow chimney of the ship was sticking out.
Have you ever taken a Costa cruise to the fjords?

Costa Diadema is a cruise ship of the Genoese company Costa Crociere. Upon completion, it was the largest ship ever built under the Italian flag. On 30 October 2014, the public launch took place in the same shipyard, giving way to the inaugural events, while on 1 November it set sail for the vernissage cruise departing from Trieste. On 7 November, the ship was christened in the port of Genoa.

Via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
Via Asilo Maria Teresa is a street located in Sestri Levante, a picturesque town in the Liguria region of Italy. This street is home to several businesses and services.
This street is well located in the center of Sestri Levante, making it easily accessible and ideal for a stroll among shops and restaurants.
Via Asilo Maria Teresa is named after Asilo Maria Teresa, a historic educational institution located along this street. The kindergarten was founded to provide education and care to children in the local community. The name “Maria Teresa” is likely a tribute to a prominent figure, perhaps a benefactor or an important person linked to the history of the institution or the town.
Sestri Levante is a picturesque town located on the Riviera di Levante in Liguria, Italy. It is famous for its two bays: the Baia del Silenzio and the Baia delle Favole, the latter named in honor of the writer Hans Christian Andersen who stayed there.

One of the painted doors of Santa Maria street in Funchal, Portugal.
One of the last times I was in the town of Funchal, on the island of Madeira, by ship, I discovered this street in the old town by chance.
It is a special place where, in addition to finding many restaurants and bars, you can admire these doors (but not only those) painted in an artistic way.
The one in this photo, at number 1, represents the street itself.

Where is the street located:
A Madonnina in via Asilo Maria Teresa in Sestri Levante.
Walking around my Sestri I always try to frame objects or unpublished details to share them and, perhaps, get some more information by searching online or waiting for some visitor to add some news.
In this case my attention was drawn to this small Madonnina that emerges from the wall that borders via Asilo Maria Teresa and, given the position, I imagine that it is a statuette of what used to be the asylum.

Here is where this street is located:
Via Vittorio Veneto in centro a Chiavari.
Il cantro di Chiavari è attraversato da una via rettilinea (caruggio) che è anche la via del passeggio.
Nella parte a Ponente si chiama via Martiri della Liberazione mentre nella parte a Levante si chiama via Vittorio Veneto (che poi volendo prosegue in Corso Dante).
Con il teleobiettivo si scattano foto che in questo caso ho volutamente reso un poco schiacciata ma era per cercare di coprire tutta la via in uno scatto solo.

Via Nazionale a Sestri Levante.
Una delle vie principali della mia cittadina che porta (praticamente) dall’uscita autostradale dritto fino al centro.
Di fronte la parte più moderna e periferica, tutta dritta; alle spalle la parte più antica e centrale.

Dei bei palazzi sulla Rambla di Barcellona.
A me piace percorrere questa via di Barcellona e soffermarmi a guardare (e fotografare) i palazzi che si affacciano su di essa.
Ne scopro sempre qualcuno nuovo (ma magari li ho già visti e non me lo ricordo, ah ah) e ne apprezzo la classe e le decorazioni mai banali.

Dove si trova la Rambla:
La Rambla is one of the most emblematic places in the city, very popular all year round with both tourists and locals, and has different names in its different sections, which is why it is sometimes called in the plural Les Rambles in Catalan and Las Ramblas in Castilian. The word rambla comes from the Arabic raml (sand) and designates, as in other Spanish cities, a street created from a dry, buried or covered watercourse.
