Praiano: coastal paradise

---

Wow! We spent today walking up and down stairs to discover multi terraced houses with magnificent views and amazing engineering. How do people build places in such steep locations- imagine bringing in the building materials! Our host is wonderfully welcoming and we have a delightful little apartment overlooking the Salerno Gulf.

There are little stores selling groceries and wine. This is the quiet time here in an area which thrives on tourism.

The locals find this time of year a peaceful paradise where they can enjoy their beautiful district in the peace and quiet of the winter months. If you are going to visit Amalfi this is the time of year to do so.

Stonework
You bet! Even the new work is amazingly well done - Michael found an abandoned house right on the waters edge - near very steep cliffs and wild seas however
