| Sidi Bou Saïd (TN) - white and blue |
|
|
Sidi Bou Saïd is a romantic little town on a hilly shore, packed with white and blue villas, a superb place for a late afternoon stroll, or a morning stroll, or a lunchtime stroll. And it smells wonderfully! The town is not necessarily split into old and new in an obvious way, however the older part, which is characterised by narrow alleys, galleries, small boutiques, cafes, and pastry shops, stood out from the rest. It is also the part of Sidi Bou Saïd, which is the most visited by tourists, who seem just wandering about without a cause or method. Simply browsing through the souvenir stands, the galleries and the mansions. Or just wandering, full stop. This most picturesque part is located on a slope of a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. And on a good day, one can see all the way across the water to the capital on the other side, and even the mountains beyond. Mountains, where quite drinkable and quaffable local wines are being produced. [edit text]
