Selinunte archaeological park is largest in Europe. 270 hectares, 10 km walking track, seven temples, baths, necropolis ecc. An area to walk through the birth of the Greek empire to its fall.
Marinella di Selinunte is the small village just by with 1000 inhabitants. One of the few real rural Sicilian areas left with slow living, fish and amazing beaches.
The coolest place in Catania is not doubt the fish market. Largest fish market in Italy open Monday – Friday 07:00 – 12:00, Saturday 07:00 – til sold out. Less crowd than usual caused by Lock Down, but life goes on.
Den coolaste platsen i Catania är ingen tvekan fiskmarknaden. Italiens största fiskmarknad öppen måndag – fredag 07:00 – 12:00, lördag 07:00 – till slutsåld. Färre människor än vanligt orsakat av Lock Down, men livet går framåt.
Sea bass baked in salt in low temperature in the oven. These we eat at Da Lorenzo in Santa Tecla (below Acireale). Yummy! Book a table, a very popular restaurant.

ColaPesce Legend ? The man who holds up the Sicilian island
Cola was a boy who loved the sea and spend most of the days swimming and diving. His mother told him that soon he will turn in to a fish, she was not very passionate about her sons hobby. Cola was excited about all the things he discovered in the sea and told everyone fascinating stories. One day the stories reached the king of Sicily that time, Federico II. He got curious about the boy and asked him to dive as deep as he could to find out what holds the Sicilian island up. When he came back Cola told the king that Sicily is held by three columns but one of them has been damaged by a furious fire. Sicily risks to collapse into the sea.
The King and inhabitants got very afraid and asked Cola for help to dive deeper to see what could be done to avoid this. Even if Cola knew diving that deep was very risky, he decided to help his people. Cola sadly never returned. Everyone said he has become half man and half fish, and remained under the sea supporting the third column preventing Sicily to be submerged by the sea.
Cola = Boys name, Pesce = Fish in italian

ColaPesce Legenden – Mannen som h?ller upp Sicilien
Cola var en pojke som ?lskade havet och tillbringade de flesta dagarna med att dyka. Hans mor ber?ttade f?r honom att han snart kommer att f?rvandlas till en fisk, hon var inte s?rskilt passionerad av sonens hobby. Cola var imponerad ?ver allt han uppt?ckte i havet och ber?ttade f?r alla fascinerande historier. En dag n?dde historierna till Siciliens konung, Federico II. Han blev nyfiken p? pojken och bad honom dyka s? djupt som m?jligt f?r att ta reda p? vad som h?ller den sicilianska ?n st?ende. N?r han kom tillbaka sa Cola till konungen att Sicilien h?lls av tre kolumner, men en av dem har blivit skadad av en rasande eld. Sicilien riskerar att kollapsa i havet.
Kungen och inv?narna blev v?ldigt r?dda och fr?gade Cola f?r hj?lp att dyka djupare f?r att se vad som kunde g?ras f?r att undvika detta. ?ven om Cola visste att den djupet var mycket riskabelt best?mde han sig f?r att hj?lpa sitt folk. Cola ?terv?nde tyv?rr aldrig. Alla sa att han har blivit halv man och halv fisk, och stannade i havet f?r att st?tta den tredje kolonnen som f?rhindrar att Sicilien blir neds?nkt vid havet.
Cola = Pojkens namn, Pesce = Fisk p? italienska
It may sound strange but I am not a hudge fan of the beach even living in a sun and sea island. But there is a lovely beach club at the end of the Recanati beach where the sea is amazing and not much tourists around. The beach club has no color coordination, nor the beach beds in order and a simple kitchen. Just so Sicilian it can be! Stella Marina.

Det kanske l?ter konstigt, men jag ?r inte ett stort fan av stranden trots att jag bor p? en sol och havs?. Men det finns en h?rlig strandklubb i slutet av Recanati-stranden d?r havet ?r fantastiskt och inte mycket turister. Strandklubben har ingen f?rgkoordinering, strandb?ddarna i oordning och ett enkelt k?k. Bara s? sicilianskt det kan bli! Stella Marina.
If you still do not know why you should visit Sicily…atleast come for the food! We love fish and it shows. Here a small collection of latest orders.

In Sicily food is not just simple fuel for energy. Food is the soul of this island. The table where you meet friends, where family gathers, where words are exchanged and amazing tastes are enjoyed. A lunch of two and half hours is considered normal in Sicily. And while you eat, you talk about what to eat the next occasion, next christmas, next summer and what you eat in the past. Food gathers people and get everybody to slow down as the meal is often several dishes and it is not something you just grab and run.

P? Sicilien ?r inte mat bara enkelt br?nsle f?r energiproduktion. Mat ?r sj?len p? denna ?. Vid bordet tr?ffa du v?nner, d?r familjen samlas, d?r ord utbyts och man njuter av fantastiska smaker. En lunch p? tv? och en halv timme anses normalt p? Sicilien. Och medans du ?ter, talar man om vad du ska ?ta n?sta g?ng, n?sta jul, n?sta sommar och vad du ?tit i det f?rflutna. Mat samlar m?nniskor och f?r alla att sakta ner d? m?ltiden ?r ofta flera r?tter och inte n?got man bara tar och ger sig av.

When I came to Sicily the first time 2007 I spent my four week holiday in Marina di Ragusa area. It is also the area where Montalbano is filmed. There I found this amazing restaurant called La Falena and we eat there almost every night during these four weeks. Every time I travel here I alwasy eat at La Falena.? Do reserve a table as locals eat here and it is full almost every night.
This young man designed our dinner which of course was fish. The south sicilian cuisine is more innovative than other areas in Sicily and here we eat herb cooked fish and an amazingly beautiful sicilian Cannolo for dessert.? Best way to eat in Sicily is to let the chef decide your meal, or the waiter. La Falena has remained as one of my favourite restaurants in Sicily.

N?r jag kom till Sicilien f?rsta g?ngen 2007 tillbringade jag min fyraveckors semester i Marina di Ragusa-omr?det. Det ?r ocks? det omr?de d?r Montalbano filmats. D?r hittade jag denna fantastiska restaurang som heter La Falena och vi ?t d?r n?stan varje kv?ll under dessa fyra veckor. Varje g?ng jag reser hit ?ter vi p? La Falena. Reservera bord d? lokalbefolkningen ?ter h?r och det ?r fullt n?stan varje kv?ll.
Den h?r unge mannen designade v?r middag som var naturligtvis fisk. Det s?dra sicilianska k?ket ?r mer innovativt ?n andra omr?den p? Sicilien och h?r ?ter vi ?rtkokt fisk och en otroligt vacker siciliansk Cannolo som dessert. B?sta s?ttet att ?ta p? Sicilien ?r att l?ta kocken best?mma din m?ltid, eller servit?ren. La Falena ?r en av mina favoritrestauranger p? Sicilien.
