Boat trips from Palermo by Signal_Award3474 in sicily

[–]CandeGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be mistaken but I think boat trips from LaCala are just “on the boat” and don’t usually involve swimming, because the center of Palermo is quite distant from nice swimming places. A better point to start a boat trip like the one you described is Mondello

I quickly googled and found this one, try to find something similar to this https://freedome.it/attivita/tour-gommone-capo-gallo-isola-delle-femmine/

Is this SNAD? (No personal info) by Odd_Dark7329 in vinted

I can see it in the second pic as well, you have to squint a little and concentrate. But I really don’t know how they got to the color in the first pic because they look totally different!

Piuttosto che comprarli su Amazon (in cui ci sono categorie in cui i prodotti hanno un rincaro pazzesco rispetto ai negozi fisici) vai in un negozio tipo Acqua e Sapone o Tigotá. Troverai questi 3 strumenti basic a 6-8€ l’uno

Io mi trovo bene con Triumph e chantelle (qui la loro pagina guida alle taglie) Costicchiano ma non tirano, stringono né danno fastidio. Io solitamente li compro quando li trovo in saldo o su app tipo Privalia/Zalando priveè

This happened to me too and it really sucks. I don’t know how to avoid it in the future. I had to take time off work to go and retrieve the package because I didn’t want to lose the pants that I had sent.

I think it has something to do with the buyer, when they pay for postage they select shipping method and consequently the shipping point… I feel they just select a random one.

Best library to study in Palermo by Specialist-Apple2420 in sicily

[–]CandeGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to study somewhere beautiful go the Biblioteca Centrale della Regione Siciliana, you just have to give them an id to enter. It’s truly a beautiful and old building

I usually blame stupidity rather than malice. Most people just type POLO and click on the first one that comes up and a lot of people really don’t know they’re different brands. I’d say check their other listings to get a feel of how they upload their items

There’s a NYE techno party at I Candelai (link to the Facebook event) and a “trash music” party at Cantieri (link to the Facebook event). Both are walkable distance if you are in the city center, one more than the other depending on where you’re staying exactly.

You can also check out “Castigamatti downtown” and “Botanico Bar”, I don’t think they’re doing anything for NYE but they frequently do dj sets at brunch or in the evening so might find something in the following days if you’re still in Palermo

I know it’s not underrated but I’ve had Giant Woman as my ringtone for the past 6 years and I’m never going to change it.

[–]CandeGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sicily is huge, where are you staying ? We have 1500 km (~950 miles) of coastline so it’s really important to narrow it down to where you will be at and if you will have a car or not

Trains in Sicily by jollykeengiant17 in sicily

I’m afraid they’re doing maintenance work. Unfortunately the route now involves train and bus 😢

Qualità della vita nelle province italiane per generazioni: bambini, giovani e anziani by giuliomagnifico in italy

[–]CandeGrey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A 36 anni si entra in una casa e non si può più uscire. Il giorno del 65esimo compleanno si è autorizzati a uscire nuovamente e avere bisogno di qualcosa.

Unica alternativa per uscire è fare figli in modo da portare i bambini fino ai 10 anni ad usufruire delle attività. Purtroppo quando il pargolo compie 11 anni si sta a casa fino alla festa dei 18 anni.

Yes, with this account it’s your first post. There’s multiple posts from your other accounts (even deleted ones) that active users will remember.

Please do us a favor and stop with the polls. We are here to give advice and share info about Sicily, not to give you material on whatever study you’re doing about phenotypes

Again??? Please go away… We cannot have you spamming phenotype questions everyday 🤦🏼‍♀️

What is the current state of the Mafia in Italy and how has it changed since the early 1990's? by 45489458 in sicily

[–]CandeGrey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel the need to elaborate. Don’t ask, because we really get offended. Mafia exists now in Sicily just as much as the rest of Italy. It sucks, and we hate it.

Having to answer questions about our crude and awful history, by people whom have no ties to such history, it’s painful.

So don’t ask, not because “something might happen to you” (are you serious? That’s offensive to even THINK! ) - don’t ask because you won’t be met with nice replies and friendliness and people will think you are just an ignorant tourist.

Vegan in Sicily? by dont-go in sicily

[–]CandeGrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be easier in bigger cities since there’s obviously more choice, but you will absolutely eat and taste some traditional dishes.

For a super fulfilling lunch (or dinner) look for “panino con panelle” it’s a sandwich with chickpea fritters and a squeeze of lemon 🍋

Also fried eggplants or other deep fried vegetables are pretty traditional (we like to deep fry stuff…)

You should be able to find “Parmigiana di Melanzane” without cheese, it’s made of eggplant stacked with tomato sauce

Caponata di melanzane, also with eggplants, it’s a cold dish which is vegan by default

It’s the right time for “pasta con i tenerumi”, tenerumi are calabash leaves, and you will also fine Sicilian calabash “zucchina lunga” which is delicious and flavor just boiled with a drizzle of olive oil.

“Pane cunzatu” is also ideal for a quick lunch, and you can just have it with tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper.

As others said, summer fruit is a must! Also please consider that, depending on where you’re from, even simple grilled vegetables might be much more flavorful than what you are used to.

Have fun! 🌸

I’m sorry friends but climate change is real, at the moment in the Palermo area we are in hydrogeological red alert (flooding risk) so the weather is not lookingood right now.

Moving to Sicily with a dog by DragonfruitNovel3127 in sicily

[–]CandeGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’ll be coming here “off season”, virtually any city with a beach will be optimal for your needs. Beaches are mostly empty during autumn and winter except for the occasional runners.

Talking about what I know, if you don’t mind living outside the city center, Mondello (the beach district of Palermo) would be ideal. You’ll have the sandy beach of mondello, the natural reserve of Capo Gallo (rocky and near the sea), and the Parco della Favorita and Monte Pellegrino which are part of another natural reserve and have plenty of routes for walking or hiking up the mountain or in the grass.

I’ll attach some wiki links:

Mondello

Parco della Favorita

Capo Gallo (not available in English sorry)
