Monday, May 15, 2017 - A visit to Castello di Portera
In the evening, our last in Italy, we decided to drive up to Castello di Portera to watch the sunset. The place is abandoned – it advertises a restaurant, but perhaps we’re ahead of the season? We were by ourselves and it was simply lovely, with expansive, majestic views across the whole valley. The smells were especially fragrant – someone had just cut the meadow grass, and honeysuckle bushes were prolific. We left after the sunset at around 8:30.
