    Lovely place mate. Theres an old square up in the old town where you can while away the evening in the bars around it's edges watching the various acts which perform in the middle. Getting the escalators down to the beach is an experience too!

    Eat lots of their sausage. It's like tapas to them in their boozers and you can try allsorts. The grilled white sausage was my favourite.

    ACS has eaten plenty of sausage all around the world and reliably informed me that German sausage was the wurst.

    German Sausage is the best.

    Italy for me. Renting an apartment in Florence.

    Saw the city for the first time a couple of years ago and fell in love with the place. Absolutely beautiful city.

    Top of my list of places to go.
    The Medici history and Da Vinci influence is utterly spellbinding apparently.
