Agrigento is a place that every visitor of Sicily should try to make. Especially if you are into archeological things.

Back in early April, Jess and I wanted to go for a road trip. We hadn’t been up the Northern coastline yet and Mario told us of a place called Tindari. Its located on the Northeastern coastline of Sicily and has a ton of history. The story behind the black Madonna and the duomo is […]

The pages will contain broad information about Sicily that I think is interesting regarding the food and culture we are surrounded by. These pages will also have links to related stories. […]
