All the way up to the third corner of the island today!
Trapani.
A city, seemingly, built around salt.
So, it seems appropriate to start today's tour with the saline beds.
Windmills pump the sea water into shallow beds for evaporation and the result (after evaporation and raking) is piles of what appears to be never-melting snow; but is,in fact, sea salt.

Museo delle Saline
It is no surprise,then- that they have a museum dedicated to the area's salt production through history. The Phoneticians developed and used these salt pans.

But Trapani offers much more than salt.
Erice-Trapani also offers
Cable Cars to the top

Medieval Town and Cobble Streets.

Complete with not just one,but two castles.
And last, and perhaps best in my opinion
Baia Santa Margherita
Beautiful coast.Sliver of a beach.
Turquoise water giving way to that deep Mediterranean Blue.
What's not to love?
