A Night in Mondello



So my friend Sam and I set on this adventure with no idea of what we would get into. Let me tell you, we did not expect the scene in Mondello. We figured it would be sort of touristy and full of young people since it's a hot beach spot but that wasn't quite the scene we expected. It primarily consisted of families, a lot of couples, and groups of people that would be our age. But there were no real bars in the traditional sense of sit in and order and maybe talk to the people around you. It is a lot of patio by the beach where you can sit and have a meal or drinks with the people you came with. The people of our demographic (late teens to mid-twenties) were all sitting in the dark on the beach by candle light listening to music and hanging out. The most interesting part had to be the beach football that was going on. There is apparently a tournament happening of 5 a side. This was still going on when we left at 12:30-12:45. It was pretty entertaining and a lot of people would stop by to watch a match or two before continuing their night. All in all, it was a lot less of an open scene and a lot more of a spot that Italian's just go to visit and hang out. I still really like the place but would love to come back in any of the three types of groups previously mentioned. Tomorrow, we are going to go enjoy the day time scene on the beach.
