MAY EDITION-BY: DARLENE DIAZ
As I reminisce on my recent journey to Portofino the vibrant images fill my mind completely. This charming and quaint seaside village left a lasting impression never to be forgotten. The pastel-hued buildings that line the harbor stood against the azure waters. At first sight it created a picture-perfect scene that was beyond belief. Each bite of savory cuisine, bursting with the freshest seafood and bold Mediterranean flavors whisked me away to culinary bliss.
As I wandered this picturesque village, I came across a charming gelateria nestled among the colorful facades of the Ligurian Sea. I glanced at the rows of tantalizing gelato flavors. I selected a delicious hazelnut and tangy lemon in a crisp waffle cone. Indulging in my gelato, I savored the sweet flavors amidst the breathtaking ocean views, creating a moment of utter joy. The charm and warmth of the locals only added to the allure of this captivating village, making it a place that captured not just my senses but my heart. As I wandered through the stunning back roads of this Ligurian village, I heard the sound of seagulls chirping and waves lapping against the shore.
During my stroll across the waterfront promenade, I admired the luxurious yachts in the harbor and the vibrant fishing boats returning from their daily catch. I found a secluded cove and decided to spend my afternoon basking in the sun. Immersed in the scents of the Mediterranean cuisine I couldn’t resist trying the local delicacies. My afternoon was spent sipping on limoncello and enjoying a seafood risotto that was bursting with flavor. Portofino, with its timeless beauty and relaxed ambiance has left an indelible mark on me, etching memories that glisten with the colors of this picturesque seaside paradise. The melody of Bocelli’s song resonated with me, as I could hear the tune playing “I Fell in Love in Portofino," truly embodied the emotions I experienced firsthand. Until next time, Grazie mille for this unforgettable journey.
