Street Food - Food Educates! It is said that Sicilians talk about food when they are not eating. In any case, people in Sicily love to cook as much as they love to eat. If the Sicilian exceptionally lacks time, he trusts even once on fast or....

When we first traveled to Sicily in 2015, our first stop was not only Palermo, but the old town district of Albergheria. A small BnB, right next to the historic Mercato di Ballarò. In the meantime, we have our own BnB. This one is also located at...

Where better to hear the true heart of Sicily beating than in the Centro Storico, the old town of Palermo? This oldest part of Palermo is rich in history, churches, monuments and magnificent historic buildings. The Centro Storico is as much a reflection of the...

Street art in the province Today we're heading out of the city and into the province. Pruvincia is the Sicilian word for province. Murals, urban art, stencils, cut-outs, pop-up art, sticker art and stencil graffiti can also be found in the "province". In this...

Palermo Street Art History Mural painting, i.e. street art, has a tradition in Palermo, "art theft" as well. A good example of this is certainly the fresco "Il Trionfo della Morte". This triumph of death dates back to the 15th century. What used to be...

Those who followed us on Instagram last year already know the name Casa Pieve. And after our little house has become a bit of a focal point for the one or other traveler, we now want to report about it here. Tiny houses...

Sicily Step by Step In total, we were on tour in Sicily for five months. Are there now a lot of tips about campsites? No, because we didn't see a single one. About restaurants? No, not even that. Because these were either due to our...

We have been in Sicily for a few months now, much longer than planned, and we keep discovering new things. It is not boring a day. Here in the Madonie, the largest nature reserve in Sicily, besides the breathtaking nature, there are the most amazing things we...

But today we are really going to Modica. No more excuses. We have reported here about the 1st failed attempt. We are curious to see if we like Modica as much as Noto. Both places belong to the baroque Val di Noto and thus to the UNESCO world cultural heritage....

We have very good memories of our last Sicily vacation. Taormina had pleased us particularly well. Clearly, we have to go there again. At that time we had unfortunately only 2 weeks time. Only two weeks for all of Sicily, is just a bit...

Today we hike in the Cavagrande del Cassibile. We have heard the Sicilians call it their Grand Canyon. Since we have already visited the Grand Canyon, we want to see what the Sicilian offshoot can do. We pack ourselves a...

Torgit: It's been quiet on our blog for a while, but today was another one of those days I have to tell you about. Blog and Instagram blog writing is more work than expected and sometimes we just have too bad net in the evening, or just after...

Syracuse Syracuse with the beautiful old town Ortigia has already inspired us on our 1st vacation in Sicily, so now it was again at the top of our bucket list. Since we live in our SpaceCamper, we are more in nature than in cities....
