Sorrento And Amalfi Coast

Sorrento, Italy

Today we experienced probably one of the most beautiful places I have been to on the planet. Our stop was in Salerno, Italy, and we did a day trip to Sorrento and then the Amalfi Coast.

The drive took us up into the hills and then looped by Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. We then continued to our first stop, which was Sorrento. Higher on the Cliffs, it was stunning. A cute town obsessed with lemons, actually, the whole area is obsessed with lemons. All the trees were everywhere, narrow streets lined the town, and swimming in the Mediterranean was a highlight. This is a place I could definitely wish to come back to in order to enjoy the town, the food, and the swimming.

The video is a time-lapse of us walking through the town, ending at the lookout and the ramp taking you down to where you can swim in the beautiful water below.

Our friend told us to make sure we checked out the dessert: Delizia al Limone. It was the first thing we tasted and I really enjoyed it. It is a creamy lemony cake.

Delizia al Limone is a traditional Italian dome-shaped dessert originating from the Sorrento Peninsula. It consists of a soft sponge cake soaked in limoncello syrup, filled with a rich lemon custard, and coated in a smooth, lemon-infused whipped cream glaze.

What To Know: Originally created in 1978 by Sorrento pastry chef Carmine Marzuillo, this iconic regional dessert depends on highly fragrant, local Sorrento PGI lemons for its distinct aroma.
