The floor is lava!!!

Hoy coincidimos con un grupito de españolas muy majas (andaluzas) y un guía italo— argentino que además actúa en un circo y espectáculos de calle.

Subimos a ver los pueblos afectados por el volcán en las erupciones de 1991, cada vez por un cráter diferente. La última se paró justo delante de una casa, solo a unos metros, los que viven allí estaban de suerte.

Paseamos por el borde de un cráter y hacemos muchas fotos. Estamos a 2000 mts y aunque hace sol, aqui se está fresco y se puede estar bien. Vemos las grutas subterráneas que han hecho los ríos de lava.

Aquí hay una estatua del gigante Polifemo (de la odisea de Ulises) lanzando rocas. Vemos unas rocas en el mar (las primeras en salir del Etna) cuenta la leyenda que son las que lanzó el gigante.

De vuelta a Catania paseamos e investigamos sobre la historia del elefante y símbolo de la ciudad.

La parte histórica nos dice que los primeros elefantes que llegaron a esta isla, los trajo Aníbal (no confundir con el señor Lecter que comía carne y jugaba al quid pro quo con Clarise), los cataneses se sorprendieron al ver un animal tan grande y desde entonces lo usan como símbolo de la ciudad.

La parte de leyenda es que un religioso llamado Helio era muy bromista y gamberrete, y Dios lo convirtió en una estatua de elefante condenado a mirar siempre a la puerta del Duomo, hasta arrepentirse de sus travesuras. Con la luz del sol se quedó dorado y de ahí viene el nombre de Helio D’oro.

La leyenda del covid también cuenta que a partir de hoy necesita el pasaporte covid para acceder a recintos y restaurantes. Y es cierta, nos han pedido la carta verde para entrar al Teatro Antico y para entrar a cenar en una pizzería.

Mañana: Siracusa #semosviarejos #viajarentiemposrevueltos

  3. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  6. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari. Exceptional Blog!

  7. Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this website could undeniably be one of the very best in its niche. Very good blog!

  10. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.
