Live from Sicily! One of my favorite things is hearing the awe and wonder in my guests’ reactions once they see Monreale Cathedral Nad its cloister (pictured).
You must see it!
Palermo has so many hidden corners, like the Church of the Immaculate Conception, for example, that are not easily explored without a guide. Our time in this fascinating city was brief yesterday, but long enough to include what I think is one of the best arancine (rice balls) on the island!
