THE MAGNA VIA FRANCIGENA TRAIL
F
rom the Gulf of Palermo to the Valley of Temples, along the ancient roads travelled by Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans. Nine stages towards the discovery of Sicily: the famous leg of the trail with Monreale and Agrigento, but even that made up of the Sicani Mountains with their breath-taking landscapes, or Sutera that is one of the “most beautiful villages in Italy”. Walking through nature parks, fields of wheat and small towns perched on hilltops – this is a coast-to-coast journey uncovering the traditions and history of an unforgettable land.
