Traditional Sicily at the foot of “Monte Cofano”

On the slopes of Mount Cofano, in the Sicilian province of Trapani lies a small and sleepy bay that seems stopped in time.

A time when men were living in caves and feeding from the goodwill of the sea, the sacrifice of some of the family’s herd, and the snails’ picking.

After a busier period, when the now-closed overlooking marble mine was the major source of income, the area fell back into a lazy pace. Now again, the tempo is mostly given by the strength of the waves and the wind.

The sharp-cut rocky peaks that dominate an opal crystal sea inserting into windy-grass lands, only covered with random lonely trees and Barbary figs, truly offers scenery of a somehow prehistoric time.

A testimony of land that fiercely lives an authentic, local and timeless lifestyle.
