The magic of Christmas comes to Nicotera! 🎅 The city is adorned with lights and colors, creating an enchanting atmosphere that enchants adults and children alike! ✨😊

Worth a visit. Small and surrounded by olive trees.

Situated at 210 meters above sea level on a ridge overlooking the sea, and the plain and gulf of Gioia Tauro. The historic center of Nicotera develops through winding streets, underpasses and steep stairs with breathtaking panoramic views. The ancient neighborhoods of "Baglio" and "Giudecca" are particular. The water mills that develop along the stream create a connection line at the base of the hill, which can be admired from Marina di Nicotera or from the train station (Nicotera Scalo).

On the Passo del Mercante, my father told me, that my grandfather met my grandmother. My grandfather was a young woodcutter who climbed the pass from Cittanova; and my grandmother was a shepherdess from Canalo Vecchio. They met by chance, and immediately argued: it seems that she didn't like the woodcutters, because they were too noisy and scared the cattle... But my grandfather, evidently made the difference, "maybe he was cute and she was very beautiful" and after the argument they made peace and fell in love.... Every time I'm in the area, I always go to the Pass to greet the memory of my grandfather 👴 and my grandmother👵 😊👋👋

Delianuova, located on the slopes of Aspromonte between 600 and 800 m above sea level, is a Calabrian municipality surrounded by vast olive groves, a symbol of the local economy. Renowned for the Carmelia area and its lush woods, it is a popular destination for those who want to escape on summer days or look for precious autumn mushrooms.

Mandatory stop at the stall, for a sandwich, a glass of wine, a dessert or a coffee. The owner is very nice.

There are several scattered along this stretch of highway. Probably dating back to World War II. It is possible to access it but I didn't.
