Back to Trapani

No trip to Western Sicily is complete without a visit to Trapani. This very ancient city is so much similar geographically to Ithaca that some famous English historians believe that the Odyssey was written here. But I digress. This city is just wonderful and the centro storico has  been transformed into a pedestrian zone with severely limited auto traffic so one may enjoy the area at leisure and free from the annoying car and motorini traffic that plagues Italy.
