I found a mall! This…read moremall is so nice, clean and unexpected in such a little town outside the U.S. Navy Base at Sigonella. The first store you see walking in is a toy store...so my kids were in heaven! Food court offers Burger King, a pizza place, another plizza place, and another pizza place. A gelato stand, another gelato stand, and another gelator stand. One "Tex Mex" restaurant too serving up Coronas! My kids also found the cutest arcade you've ever seen. (My phone has been acting up so sorry for limited photos-don't worry, I'll be back to the mall). They have a giant elephant ride and a giraffe ride-adorable! Of course I found some shops with some gorgeous clothes! OMG since they only come in size teeny and tiny, I will have to lay off the pasta because I'm inspired to look really good! Also on the main floor is an astronaout adventure experience. Little kids actually put on a space suit including helmet and get into a simulator. Since it was late we will do this another time. There are various lounge areas. A huge megatron plays CNN so you can sit and relax with your espresso and catch up on the news-or at least the hubby's can while you shop. I didn't make it thru the entire mall but I did see an H&M advertised and another store called the Auchan (like a Target) that offers groceries and a variety of other items-I saw people walking out with their Italian cakes in a box-which I will have to get next time I'm out and about. I saw another nice lounge area on the floors below and more stores to browse in. The housewares store that I popped in had some Italian coffee makers in various colors which I will surely pick up on my next outing. What I found interesting is most people had shopping carts walking throughout the mall-wow what a concept when you have so many things to buy! So much shopping to do for Christmas and I found a place to do it! Ciao!

I have been living in Sicily for the past few years and have enjoyed visiting this outlet mall a…read morehandful of times. It's hard not to get here, just takes a bit of time if you're coming from Catania (~45 minutes). The shopping center is very clean, they have decent cafes, and some high end stores to keep things interesting. If you're in Sicily for more than a week and need something to do, this plaza is worth seeing.

We were moving from the south to the north coast that day. A nice and easy drive through the heart…read moreof Sicily. Funnily enough, in the middle of almost nowhere there is this Outlet! It was summer and temperatures went way beyond 100°F. Not really any shade on the parking lot, so it doesn't matter where you leave your car...it will be boiling inside (be aware of that fact when it comes to leaving kids, pets ... or even freshly bought food in the car). The Outlet itself has a beautiful setting. It really IS a village itself with countless lovely built stores in all colors. There's also a good number of restaurants for every budget as well as bathrooms. Some stores offers really good discounts, some on the other hand....not. So you really depend on two things: Luck and time. You either bring enough time to check out the offers or you just hope the best and get lucky. We thought the "Guess" and the "MK" store really did have good offers the time we visited. Be sure to listen to the announcements over the speaker. On very short notice (minutes before) they will announce several times a day which store is up for an extra discount for the next 20-30 minutes. And then...run! Luckily we were just standing in front of the MK store when it got announced (20% extra off on handbags). People really will come running....and fight for the items. We got lucky.... So, it's a really cool place to grab some good stuff. Bring enough time (and money) to enjoy it fully. There are also several companies selling daytrips from many major towns in Sicily. Another good thing: Dogs are welcome here (just not IN the stores) and there's enough shade for your furry friend.

No wonder Italian families are always dressed so fabulous, they have a kids Zara section in this…read morestore! Wow! Amazing outfits for boys and girls that will make your tiny tots look like celeb kids...without the celeb pricetag! Lots of great accessories and shoes here for them too like furry boots and high tops! Mens and Womens areas too of course showcasing styles for all of your lives (office attire, casual, date night or disco night) you will find it all here! My favorite store found in many Euro cities (store originated in Spain). If you dont have a Zara near you, shop online!

The U.K.online store offers Home, Kids, and Decor departments as well. Great to come in and find some reasonably priced outfits, accessories and lipgloss! I don't think very many people know that H&M is a very international company. The first store opened in 1947 in Sweden under the the name Hennes. It slowly expanded into Europe with stores opening in France in the 90s. The U.S. store did not open in New York until 2000. They are now worldwide with stores in Asia, Middle East, Russia and recently Mexico.
