Panicale - one of the most beautiful villages in Umbria

It is not just my opinion that Panicale is one of the most beautiful villages in Umbria, Panicale has won national awards and is recognised as such.

Little things change, like alterations to the bocce pitch and the addition of a street food shop in the piazza, but underneath it is still the same beautiful soft honey coloured stone village, around a thousand years old, with concentric narrow streets inside the walls of a hilltop village.

For those who have not seen my previous posts on Panicale, you can look at back dated blogs for August 2014 and  July 2015.

Just a couple of photos taken today.





Today was a day of catching up, rest and relaxation. After three loads of washing there was ironing to be done, and grocery shopping. Then we enjoyed the garden,  read and caught up on journal writing.

It is traditional to go to Bar Gallo where Aldo and Daniela run a very popular place for 'aperitivi.'  Tonight we enjoyed Aperol Spritz which was accompanied by panzanella and crisps. It is the perfect place for watching people go by, and for us to recall locals that we recognise.



Tonight is a total eclipse of the moon and the sky is clear so here is a northern hemisphere view.
