Agrigento roundup

The Valley of the Temples wasn't the only area I visited in Agrigento. Being a hilltop town there are vistas of the countryside. In the morning, before visiting the temples, I climbed to the top of the hill, partly because I wanted to get a breakfast at a cafe there.

A feature of this countryside are the many highways on concrete flyovers. Must provide a lot of work for road engineers.

At the top of the hill is the Cattedrale di San Gerlando.

Fast forward a few hours and after the visit to the Valley I had a splurge lunch at a recommended Agrigento restaurant where I had seafood pasta. In the background is a side of caponata. The main ingredient is eggplant but other vegetables feature.

Sometime later I had a snack of a cannolo. I found the ricotta cream a bit too sweet for my taste, but maybe it was this particular shop.

One last shot and then it was time to turn in as it was a cold night.
