The final time we had been in Italy on a street journey (in a rickshaw), one place we actually wished to go to was San Gimignano.
We had plenty of individuals suggest it on Instagram and Fb but for some cause or the opposite, we by no means fairly made it to San Gimignano.
Properly, this time, we had plenty of time to spare and had been solely about half-hour away so as soon as we had been performed with what-was-meant-to-be-breakfast-but-was-now-lunch…adopted by a stroll by our Tuscan farm (I make that sound as I personal it 🙂 ) we hopped into the automotive and sped off in quest of this superb medieval Tuscan city.
Lengthy earlier than you arrive at San Gimignano, you may see it from the gap sitting proudly atop the hill, which is a sight in itself and price stopping the automotive to marvel at – even when only for a fast image.
Inside a couple of minutes, we discovered ourselves within the city and in quest of ice cream to go together with that Tuscan sunshine (parking scenario right here is fairly good by the way in which – you may’t park within the city itself however you may simply exterior the partitions).
San Gimignano is one lovely Tuscan city! It’s every little thing I imagined it will be and extra. Tuscany is my favorite a part of Italy and locations like this are the explanation why (nicely, that and people seemingly countless vineyards 😉 ).
We slowly made our approach by the city, stopping for much more gelato and a peruse on the native farmer’s outlets for one thing to take house. (Okay, tremendous – I used to be on the lookout for San Gimignano wine however to be honest, it comes very extremely beneficial by individuals right here so I figured I would as nicely see what the fuss was all about 🙂 ).
You couldn’t have picked a greater day to discover this superb city too – scrumptious sunshine and blue skies all add to the attraction of San Gimignano.
A few of the finest views (after the centre of the city, after all) are from its balcony which showcase the famed rolling Tuscan hills to perfection.
Ultimately, we determined to kick off our footwear (or flip flops in my case) and discover a native bar the place we spent the night, individuals (and sundown) watching ably assisted by a few of San Gimignano’s most interesting wines…
Sheer Italian perfection! That is really how summer season days must be spent. 🙂
