Experience the spectacle of the salt road in Marsala

One thing you cannot miss if you are in western Sicily is a visit to Marsala. This small town is crisscrossed by a strip of land that connects Trapani to the sea, on either side of which is one of the most spectacular environments in Sicilian, the so-called Saline. Get ready to admire one of the most beautiful spectacles you will see in your entire life! The placid pools of water surrounding the white mills, together with the white salt mountains, create a romantic and almost surreal atmosphere. The colors of the sky mingling with that of the water evoke an almost surreal ambiance, in fact you will feel as if you are inside a painting!

Now that you have seen the beauty of this region of Sicily, you will be ready to return to Palermo with a baggage full of wonderful memories.
