San Vito lo Capo — the city of the sea and couscous

I love Sicily. It is the land scented with salt, sun and sea. Here traditions meet with the modern and each place hides something to see and taste. In this land privileged from all points of view, 45 km from Trapani, is the enchanting San Vito lo Capo.

What attracts tourists to this area is a pristine sea with breathtaking seabed. Italy has beautiful seas and beautiful beaches in general, but those of San Vito lo Capo are certainly among the most beautiful in Italy. If you like white beaches, you can find them here (you can compare them to the Caribbean ones).

If you prefer gravel or rocks, you don't have to look far. All bathed by the sea in an incredible emerald color (usually these effects are achieved with Photoshop). Around the wild nature extends: the typically Mediterranean vegetation — figs, carob trees, dwarf palm trees. A stone's throw from San Vito real natural treasures: the Zingaro, Uzzo and Tonnara nature reserves.

San Vito itself is instead a small fishing village, with white square houses that shine in the sun. There are strong Arab influences in it. You can see it especially during the 'Couscous Festival' held every year in September, where numerous Sicilian, Egyptian, Palestinian cooks, Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians, participate in a competition for the preparation of this delicious dish according to their gastronomic tradition.

It's all accompanied by the best Sicilian wines and desserts from island traditions. How not to lose your head for Sicily? It's a purely rhetorical question.

Ah, I forgot. Take the masks with you if you have them. The depths of San Vito are ideal for scuba diving: fish, crustaceans, corals, walls, caves, wrecks. Everything against the backdrop of the blue sea. Try it to believe it!
