When in Palermo

Palermo has quickly became one of my favourite cities in Italy. Over the years, I have travelled all over Italy, so I can compare different regions and cultures. I was a bit afraid before I came to the south for the first time as I've heard that it's way too relaxed for someone used to the Swiss structure, but I was pleasantly surprised, or maybe just lucky with the people I met.

I've been coming back every year to meet ceramicists from all over Europe for a couple of weeks spent together, but there is always a weekend that I reserve for myself. I love the community, but I also need to be alone and do my own thing. They usually go together to a beach, but I prefer to take a weekend off and enjoy myself.
