San Vito Lo Capo
|
San Vito lo Capo is an ancient fishermen hamlet
placed at the slopes of the Monaco Mount - right in front of a beautiful
beach of white sand lapped by crystalline waters - precisely at the
north-western tip of Sicily, 30 Km away on the north-eastern side of
Trapani. The present seaside village has developed around the ancient
Saracen fortress - which has become a sanctuary now - and is
characterized by low white houses, built one next to the other, all
adorned with luxuriant Mediterranean plants. Pretty characteristic is
the sea-front promenade with its small bars, night pubs and typical
restaurants where you get the chance to taste gastronomic fish-based
specialities and the famous "cous cous" which still in the
present days is cooked in the full respect of the traditional Arab
recipe. In its outskirts worth visiting is: the Riserva Naturale dello
Zingaro (Natural Reserve), a real paradise for those ones who are fond
of nature and sea.
