Strolling through Via Camerelle

Window-shopping at Capri's Via Camerelle, by the way this is what this Blog is actually named :-)). After passing through Capri's Piazzetta (read more about the Piazzetta in my blog post) and down via Via. V. Emanuele (read more in my blog "A Garden in Capri" here), you arrive finally in Capri's most fashionable and probably most expensive street. 

This is Via Vittorio Emanuele opening up into Via Camerelle at its lowest point. To the left, you can see the pastel colored facade of the renowned hotel Quisisana, and of course this place is embellished by the ever present oleander and bougainville shrubs

Here we are turning left into Via Camerelle that is quite narrow here. On the right-hand side is the terrace of the hotel Quisisana, the whole yellow buiding complex. You  can also see a typical yellow electric vehicle used on Capri to transport baggage from the harbor to the hotels and back again.

It is not just fashion shops and all kinds of boutiques and shoe stores but there are hotels, a book shop (La Conchiglia) and of course wonderful flowering shrubs and trees and palm trees to admire. Have a first look at this ambiance, we will come back later in this blog again and again to Via Camerelle.

Via Camerelle is lined with pink, rose and white oleander trees flowering from April to October, and is protected on the other side by white shades that shield the merchandise exposed from the sun, and of course the clients ...

Pompei-red washed facades host some of the most renowned brands of the world ...

Pastel fairy-like facades invite window shopping, and in this pictures visitors are glad because the sun is hiding momentarily behind the clouds (it came back again half an hour later -:))
