Where you’ll be

Favara, Agrigento, Italy

The "earthly paradise of succulents" is in the province of Agrigento, Favara territory, on the Crocca valley where, within a four kilometer radius, we find:

* the Park of the Valley of the Temples -with Unesco - with its tuffy structures (temples of Juno, Concordia, Hercules, Jupiter, Dioscuri and Volcano) and the wonderful Regional Archaeological Museum;

* The Sulphur Mining Park (Ciavolotta e Lucia) is very dear to Luigi Pirandello (significant new 'Ciaula discovers the moon' set);

* the City of Agrigento with its historic splendor;

* the Municipality of Favara with its magnificent Chiaramontano Castle (one of the few preserved and accessible), the Chiesa del Rosario (national monument for the magnificent painted coffered ceiling) and the innovative Cultural Park FARM of international relief and contemporary art meeting point and urban transformation.
In Favara, the famous sweet ‘Easter lamb’ made with almond and pistachio pasta is born;

* the sea of Sicily with the well-equipped beaches of Lido di San Leone, the pristine sands of Misita, Zingarello and Punta Bianca of rare beauty competing in the nearby (seven km) Scala dei Turchi.

La Crocca is a breeze on the ‘Strada degli Scrittori’ that from Racalmuto passing through Favara and Agrigento reaches Porto Empedocle. It is the street of the literary places of Leonardo Sciascia, Antonio Russello, Luigi Pirandello, Simonetta Agnello, Andrea Cammilleri and (moving to the east a few kilometers towards Palma di Montechiaro) of Tomasi di Lampedusa.
