Thank you Lesley for the Spar operating hours. Which restaurants do think will be open during the holiday? Also I was trying to find if there are any specific activities scheduled in Scalea for Christmas. If anyone, please let me know. All information is greatly appreciated. Janet

Janet,
What sort of "activities" do you mean?
As we are 25 minutes up the road from Scalea its a little difficult to know just what is happening when (If I come across a poster I always write it all down in case it might be of interest).
It seems that in Italy the festivities go on right until the 5th/6th Jan so there is bound to be lots going on.
Mary (& Roy) tell me it is worth a trip to the Talao Tower to see the presepe there (Scalea in miniature and the nbativity scene).
Apparently if you see the lights on around the tower you will know it is open for viewing.

Lesley:

Thanks for the Talao Torre info. Last year we were in Sicily for Christmas and they had a bonfire near the churches on Christmas Eve and many of the restaurants did the feast of 7 or 12 fishes. We will explore the town and see what is going on. Again thank you for all of your advice and help. This forum is an excellent source of info. We will give you a call when we get into San Nicola. By the way, Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks Janet.
I suspect we partook of the feast of the million fishes last Saturday night at Villa Brazzano....
Although I like seafood and a little bit of fish here and there I have to say course after course is a just a bit too much for me.
(Obviously I haven't become Italian enough yet!)

It is a little disappointing that there isn't much info online of all the things that will be happening. Our Comune (Belvedere Marittimo) has a programme of events online

Else where it is just a case of keeping an eye out, I suppose.
