In Sicily, Italians park cars right on the beaches

Images leaked onto the Internet, showing cars parked right at the water's edge on one of the beaches of Sicily.

The Italians are familiar with the concept of "crazy parking" firsthand. Their love for cars is almost as strong as for the beaches. However, when these two things merge into one, very curious cases can occur. And so it happened on one of the beaches in the province of Agrigento (Agrigento), which is located in Sicily.

Last Sunday, one of the drones flying around the Pergole beach in the Realmonte beach took a photo of the area where dozens of cars were parked, almost parked in the sea, while their owners nearby enjoyed the wonderful Sicilian atmosphere hot sun and crystal clear water.

"This kind of parking method manifests itself" in all its glory "in Realmont with the onset of the next beach season, despite the endless promises of the local city council to solve this problem," said representatives of the MareAmico organization www.mareamico.it.

"August has not even come yet, and the holiday season is not in full swing, but tourists have already with might and main occupied their local beach. Cars a few centimeters from the water."

The MareAmico organization, which is involved in environmental protection, has seriously set out to take its own measures to solve this problem. Representatives of MareAmico do not exclude the possibility of building a special parking spot near the beach. However, the mayor, Pietro Puccio, although he agrees with this scenario, still believes that the implementation of the project may cause a number of difficulties. In an interview, Puccio explained that only seven inspectors accounted for seven local beaches, and Pergole beach, where a cluster of cars was noticed, was the most remote of them.

The city of Realmonte can be called new, given the age of nearby settlements on the island of Sicily. Relmonte was founded in the mid-17th century by the family of the noble Duke of Castrofilippo. One of the most famous places in the city can be called Scala dei Turchi beach, located in the vicinity of Realmonte. Perhaps many, upon seeing the Rock, will say that this is how they imagined paradise. The beach is known for its picturesque cliffs of white limestone, thanks to which it got its name. Over the years, sea winds and rains have greatly influenced the appearance of the beach, having washed the rocks from the rocks and turning them into a kind of steps. Local legend says that Saracens who arrived on the island a thousand years ago on the island climbed the coast precisely at these levels from limestone.

In addition to the delightful beaches, Realmonte is famous for its historical monuments, namely the Church of Our Lady, which dates from the 1700 year of construction. Some historians believe that it was erected in honor of Don Domenico, who gave permission for construction in these parts. Perhaps that is why it is also known as the "Church of St. Domenico."

Realmonte today is an amazing mix of magnificent beaches, historical monuments and amazing beauty of nature, which invariably attracts a huge number of tourists.
