Travel to “Isola del Giglioâ€: Part VI
May 3rd, 2007 by admin
Looking at our map, we found another place that could have been interesting to explore: “Capel Rosso”. It’s the southmost point of the island, and we noticed the presence of another lighthouse there. Still remembering the previous cool experience, we decided to go there to check out what wonderful floreal surprises we would have got once again.
So, this is the first sight of the path that leads down to the lighthouse… naturally you can’t get there by car, so if you’re a bit lazy… better give up! 
you can notice once again the wonderful flowers all around the sides of the path. Really amazing!
this old stone bridge is something unique. Old-looking but still robust, with small grass bushes growing here and there, it was giving to this place an almost “fantasy” atmosphere! maybe also because that day the sky was cloudy, with a grey typical of the scottish/celtic movie settings!
Once past the lighthouse, you could reach the southern extremity of the island, climbing down to the sea with this funny ladder carved into the stone that you can see in the picture above.
Another funny but really wonderful spot to do a pic-nic, or even just a moment of relax, a break from the mundane frenetic life, that seems to be so distant from the chaos you can see in the modern towns… I love that picture pastel colors!
from the wooden table you can see the lighthouse on the distance. As you can see you have to walk for some more meters to get into the “pic-nic” spot, but it is really worth it!
At last, here is a picture of the ladder that climbs down directly into the sea. That day it was really rough (even if doesn’t seem so from the picture above) and it was a bit scary honestly!
