Cefalu





This ancient fishing town east of Palermo has been for many years a tourist Mecca. It is a lovely place but it's main  cultural attraction is it's cathedral with it;s mosaics; more to follow on this topic.
We ate lunch in a place that appeared to be a cafe,  I had linguine allo scoglio, linguine pasta with sea food, while my dear Marcy had spaghetti alle vongole, spaghetti with little local clams. Both dishes were delicious. At first we were hesitant to eat here as the place  was somewhat touristy but the food turned out to be memorable.
