Short description of Trapani
Trapani stretches out on a narrow sickle of land at the western end of Sicily, with the sea on both sides of its old town. Baroque churches and palaces line the pedestrian Via Garibaldi and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and the Church of the Purgatory keeps the Misteri, wooden groups of the Passion carried through the streets on Good Friday. At the tip of the town the Torre di Ligny looks out where the two seas meet. A cable car climbs to medieval Erice on its mountain, the salt pans with their windmills spread to the south, and ferries leave the harbour for the Egadi Islands. Busiate pasta with pesto trapanese and fish couscous are local specialities.
