Lipari, my beautiful island in the Mediterranean

It was one of my greatest discoveries of this 2014 and I must confess that I'm thinking when I will visit Lipari, certainly will not go beyond the spring of 2015. On trips I have a maximum, if a destination has made ​​you happy, always you should try to return. So Lipari adds to my already long list of destinations to which we must always return, like New York, Mexico City, London or Formentera. In a reflection aloud, it could well be my new Formentera Lipari, much cheaper and less crowded (I am or Formentera this year is really impossible?).

I got completely casually Lipari -live the casualidades- as part of the itinerary of the Mediterranean cruise I did in June aboard the sailing ship Royal Clipper . It was the last stop and I confess I had a feeling more pain that otherwise because the cruise came to an end, but no more set foot on the island my feeling changed radically and one of the thoughts that assailed me was something like " this place will love me " . And so it was.

And the most popular of the Aeolian Islands , located off the coast of Sicily, has been a traveler crush for me, though of course like everything that has to do with love, is completely irrational (os I mention this because there was several ship passengers who did not like anything. I still think that visited another island). Tourism Lipari is like taking a small step back in time. A scene of an Italian film of the 60s where still walking remains the greatest pleasure. Not much else to do in Lipari except lie in the sun on one of the beaches most beautiful in the world, Spiaggia Bianca (the name is already quite enlightening), and access to the their fortified acropolis. Also worth, and much, it is worth a visit to the Museo Arqueológico , whose entrance costs 6 €.

And I know you're waiting for, this is the paragraph in which I speak of shopping and shopping . Unfortunately, and because, of course, lack of time I had to know the island and not bring directions in the hole, but that I can tell you it (see photo) was the best pasta dish of my trip to Italy, and I enjoyed a rather cutrón restaurant port of Lipari . I cannoli for dessert, of course, that are (almost) in Sicily.

The end of my stay in Lipari gave me one of the most magical moments of my life, sailing in front of the Stromboli volcano in full eruption , which also belongs to the Aeolian. Sometimes life gives you these surprises.
