PARKING IN RAVELLO
You may want to consider taking a bus from Amalfi to Ravello instead of driving, as the metered park-
ing around the pedestrianised centre of town is obviously geared towards Ferrari owners: a costly €5 an
hour and only payable by credit card. Alternatively, head for the underground car park at the Auditorium
Oscar Niemeyer (

. This car park was in the process of being completed at research time but
the word at the tourist office was that it promises to be considerably cheaper.
Minori
POP 3000
About 3.5km east of Amalfi, or a steep kilometre-long walk down from Ravello, Minori is
a small, workaday town, popular with holidaying Italians. Scruffier than its refined coastal
cousins Amalfi and Positano, it's no less dependent on tourism, yet seems more genuine,
with its festive seafront, pleasant beach, atmospheric pedestrian shopping streets and
noisy traffic jams. It is also known for its history of pasta making, dating back to medieval
times; the speciality being
scialatielli
(thick ribbons of fresh pasta), featured on many loc-
al restaurant menus.
