It has been
a busy week for Giovanni Visetti, well-known cartographer and expert of the Sorrento peninsula and Amalfi Coast trails, with three new blogs
regarding his maps.
Perhaps the
most welcome is the news that updated and slightly revised trail maps of Sorrento
and Massa Lubrense will soon replace the old fading and often damaged ones that
you can find in most villages and townships. These will also include “Warnings”:
warnings of interruptions due to landslides (the main one being at Via Pantano, affecting
one of the routes between Massa Lubrense and Sorrento, with another much
smaller one at the start of Via Fontana on the way to Nerano) or of the very
poor state of the last stretch of the path leading to Recommone from Monte
Monticchio, subject of one of my previous blogs. Alternative routes for all are indicated.
In addition, there are a couple of changes to the original routes linking Torca
and Sant’Agata to Crapolla and Guardia.
This map is
already available on Giovanni's website and can, as always, be downloaded and printed
completely free of charge. It will also be accessible on the websites of the
local Town Council and relative Tourist offices (Pro Loco).
To conclude
his week, Giovanni has created QR codes for the map. Hopefully these will be readily
displayed in hotels, B&Bs, tourist offices, even at bus stops, so that
users of Smartphones, Iphones and tablets will able to download and save the
map onto their devices and thus have instant access to the routes whenever and
wherever.
Here are the links to the blogs:
