Field notes
Palermo (Soho / Hollywood) is the nomad triangle. The peso volatility means USD-paid renters get extreme leverage — the official rate vs blue rate spread has narrowed in recent years but the underlying arbitrage is still real. Steak / wine / theatre / late-night culture, all at bargain prices.
Hot humid summers (December–February) hit 30°C+ regularly, with a few brutal heat waves. Winters are mild rather than cold (10–12°C average), but buildings are often un-heated, so indoor life can be surprisingly cool. Spring (October–November) and autumn (March–April) are peak.
