A Slow Walk to Porto Piccolo
Set at Il Porto Piccolo
Take the long way down: past the warm stone walls, the climbing flowers and the steps that turn towards the water. No destination, just a little pocket of time before the day becomes busy again.
“No destination. Just a little pocket of time before the day becomes busy again.”
At a Glance
- Leave without a firm plan or a fixed time to be back.
- Take the long way, past warm stone walls and climbing flowers.
- Follow the path toward the water.
- Sit for a moment at the harbour before turning back.
The path down to Il Porto Piccolo is never the fastest way there, and that is rather the point.
It winds past stone walls warmed by the morning, potted flowers spilling over doorsteps, and a straw hat left hanging by an open door - and it ends, eventually, at the water.
What You’ll Need
- Comfortable shoes
- Sunglasses
- A light bag - nothing heavier than you want to carry
- No fixed schedule
In Cortelume, this is the walk between the upper lanes and Il Porto Piccolo, where the boats rest against the quay. At home, it can be any walk taken without a destination in mind.
