About

About the area

Trapani is the farthest corner of Sicily, where you can breathe in the exotic perfumes of Africa. It is an entirely Baroque town, where the main street is a parade of elaborate façades: the majestic palaces of the nobility alternate with churches with monumental domes, and ceramics decorated in bright colours are set into the sculpted stones. It is along this catwalk of architecture that the life of the city flows, especially in the long evenings, between shops, craft workshops and bar tables. And the old city centre is like a ship sailing into the Mediterranean: at the end of the alleys and streets there is always the blue of the sea. The cuisine has preserved the flavours of the era of Arab rule: the couscous here is extraordinary, especially with fish-based sauces. Or the Trapanese pesto that emphasises almonds and garlic, and let’s not forget the swordfish seasoned with mint sauce. This is a fishing district, with its capital in Mazara del Vallo where you can savour delicious prawns. It is a village with Tunisian accents, where you can admire the bronze statue of the Dancing Satyr, a Hellenistic masterpiece rediscovered by fishing nets in the depths of the Sicilian Channel. And for those who love archaeology there is Mozia, the Carthaginian capital in the heart of the salt pans, with another exceptional statue, that of the Charioteer. For those who prefer drinkable delights, a stop in Marsala, with its cellars of wine as sweet as the setting sun, is a must. Or take a break in the cool of the elegant village of Erice, with a breathtaking view of the entire province. But if you are in search of beaches, then it is worth going to the golden coastline of San Vito Lo Capo or the coves of Scopello, or taking the ferry from Trapani to the Egadi Islands and enjoying diving in Favignana.
