There are places where even the stones, the sea and the sky are telling stories about the beauty. Sicily is one of them. The province of Agrigento, the ancient heart of the island, with its majestic temples, its white cliffs on the Mediterranean sea, its Arab architecture, its countryside made of almond trees and grapevines, is representing an island in the island, a place rich in history, traditions and literature.

Racalmuto is the birthplace of the writer Leonardo Sciascia, who, in his books, renamed it “Regalpetra “, and which he choose as a writing refuge, giving therefore to the little town an important cultural imprint.

The town, founded by the Arabs near Agrigento is a perfect place to spend a holiday, a few steps from the most beautiful seas of Sicily and the majestic temples. It offers pleasant walks through the alleys and the tranquillity of its squares. Its small and precious municipal theatre, the ancient medieval palaces, the shadow of its ancient walls and its typical products, make this small town a place where you can find culture, authenticity, good food and great hospitality.

For those who love cultural experiences, there is a must to do: a visit to the breathtaking Valley of the Temples, while for those who want to experience wine tours, in this part of the province there are many wineries with some of the best Sicilian wines.
