Explore western Sicily by ebike with an exciting tour from Castellammare del Golfo. Pedal through a mix of country roads, surrounded by endless vineyards. You will reach the castles of Inici and Baida, now reduced to ruins, but witnesses of a fascinating history. Our ascent will continue to the village of Visicari, where you can visit the ancient Islamic granary. From here, the descent will take us to Scopello, a charming village now home to cafes, shops and boutiques. From the belvedere area, with a panoramic view of the gulf, we will be able to admire the tonnara (tuna fishery) and the suggestive faraglioni (stacks). In Scopello, during the stop, you will have the opportunity to savour the delicious local speciality, ‘pane cunzatu’: bread baked in a wood-fired oven, enriched with oil, oregano, fresh tomatoes and anchovies.
A unique adventure that will allow you to discover the most authentic Sicily, among breathtaking views, history, culture and gastronomic traditions.
