Here we are again, trying to sweeten the lockdown anxieties with the memory of some pleasant walk in our region, perhaps, as in this case, talking about places where at the moment it is not possible to go. Today we focus on Cetara, a small seaside village on the Amalfi Coast, located between Maiori and Vietri sul Mare in a somewhat secluded position compared to the more worldly resorts of the Coast. The fastest way to get there is to exit at Vietri sul Mare from the Naples - Salerno motorway and then follow the signs for the Amalfi Coast. The website to which we can refer is the following: https://www.cetaraturistica.it/ For seated warriors it is advisable to go down with your car to the marina and from there stroll through that part of the village accessible by our means. There is an area of the town made up of stairs and alleys that for us is impracticable, but on the whole you can move quite well in the main streets. Cetara is famous all over the world for the anchovies that its inhabitants fish and process, and from which the strong aroma nectar known as colatura di alici (anchovy sauce) is drawn, that is the liquid obtained by pressing the anchovies in the barrels where they are preserved in salt and which can be used as a tasty condiment for pasta. It is possible to buy the colatura and many other typical products in the shops scattered around the village. But Cetara enjoyed another moment of international fame with the TV series "Diavoli" (Devils), whose protagonist, the handsome dark Alessandro Borghi, is an unscrupulous financial operator who operates in London but is originally from Cetara, which appears fleetingly in an episode of the TV series. But now let's show some images of this very beautiful and characteristic village, starting with this view from the sea:
Here is the Angevin Viceregal Tower, now home to a Civic Museum inaccessible to us:

Let's wander around the inaccessible country:
And to close some images taken in the evening on a day at the end of November a few years ago:
As for the restaurants, it must be said that Cetara is also renowned for the very high quality of the premises present in its territory; however, not having first-hand information on accessibility and waiting to receive it from the owners of the restaurants themselves, we can for now advise you to stretch out to Amalfi, where there is an old acquaintance: Da Maria (*): Via Lorenzo D'Amalfi 14, Amalfi +39 089 871880 www.amalfitrattoriadamaria.com or on the Salerno seafront where we find: Embarcadero (*): Lungomare Trieste, Salerno +39 089 231372 https://embarcaderosalerno.it (*) symbol indicating the presence of toilets for the disabled
