Sea life of Gwada (Guadeloupe)
Supermarket goods on Guadeloupe are as expensive as in Europe, if not even more because of import costs from France and French colonies in Central and south America. This is a solid excuse for tasting local recipes based on sea food. Still… same same but different. If you ask for a Dorade in Guadeloupe, you get it sliced like if it was a sword fish. If you think a Lambi (conch shell) might be a good snack with beer, don’t order dinner later. Everything grows unexpectedly larger here in Gwada, especially for a tourist used to the Mediterranean environment. Gwada, Lambi, Bokit (aka “bucket” sandwich) and Gwo-ka (drum music) are some of the creole words you will easily stumble upon during your stay.

La sesta terra: Segesta
The eastern shores from Genova, known as “Levante (where the sun rises)” have some of the most famous sea locations of Italy: Portofino, Camogli, Cinque Terre (Five lands). The cozy Sestri Levante earns the title of “Sesta Terra” (Sixth land). Visit it off season and don’t miss Polpo Mario and El Pescador for gorgeous fish dinners, Luca bakeries for the best focaccia ever and Gelato naturale for an exquisite ice cream made of local milk from the Ligurian cow race “cabannina“.

Sea tales
Segesta (Sestri Levante) is the queen of fairy tales: Hans Christian Handersen visited the town in 1833. He found about the local myth of Segesta, the mermaid, and her lover, the Triton. In 1837 published his most famous fairy tale ever: The Little Mermaid. He also named the western bay of Sestri Levante as “Fairy tales bay”. Since 1998, every year in June, Sestri Levante celebrates the Handersen literature prize.
