Walking through the sunny quays of Portoferraio that run along the sea, you can breathe salt air and feel the authenticity and stillness of this city. It is not about the usual tourist walk, where you can only see mainstream souvenirs and beach products shops.<\/p>\n
The waterfront dock turns completely into a pedestrian area at night, so that you can enjoy your walk all the more. You will find plenty of colorful buildings overlooking the marina blue waters, where seagulls rest and boats are moored. Each of them houses an authentic workshop, where you can discover craft products and typical tastes of Elba.<\/p>\n
Walk around the shops, experience their perfumes and colours, with one eye to the seascape and the other to the fortresses that have stood watch over the city for centuries. Here you will find the most genuine Elba.<\/p>\n
From \u201cLocman<\/strong><\/a>\u201d watches – made in Elba \u2013 representing the perfect fusion of Italian style, Tuscan watchmaking traditions, and new production technologies, to \u201cDampa\u00ec<\/strong><\/a>\u201d original bags, designed by Simona Giovannetti and created with different materials. From \u201cTonnina<\/strong><\/a>\u201d delicacies – such as the amazing classic style tuna in oil, that you can taste while admiring the colorful accessories of its boutique, to Elba typical products of \u201cCalata Mazzini<\/strong><\/a>\u201d. These last include wine, extra virgin olive oil, pasta and the typical \u201cSchiaccia Briaca\u201d, ancient dessert prepared with flour, nuts, currants and a splash of Aleatico and Alchermes, that was originally given to those going to sea.<\/p>\n At Fiorella\u2019s shop<\/strong><\/a> you will find high quality craft-trade leather goods and, if you are a passionate reader, you can get yourself inebriated by the smell of books inside two lovely bookshops, the \u201cLibreria Stragata<\/strong><\/a>\u201d and the \u201cMar di Libri<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, that also organize some interesting events such as readings.<\/p>\n And if shopping in the sun makes you thirsty, enjoy an intense \u201cBirra dell\u2019Elba<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, an unfiltered beer with traditional taste, or the excellent \u201cBiretta elbana<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, a pale beer produced with Schiopparello wheat by the local farmhouse \u201cDue Palme<\/strong><\/a>\u201d.
