Scopello

29 April 2008

We left Sferracacavallo today and travelled about 50k west to Scopello which is on the Capo St. Vito in the north west corner of Sicily. Our first stop here was Tonnara do Scopello, a picturesque disused tuna fishery where the writer Gavin Maxwell lived and worked in the 50s. In the afternoon we went on a beautiful 4 hour walk along the coast of the Capo in the Riserva Naturelle dello Zingaro.

I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story but one of the lasting impressions of the day will be the profusion of wild flowers.
