Trapani: Salt, Sea & Sicilian Charm

On Sicily’s western coast, Trapani is a town shaped by the sea. Its old centre stretches along a narrow spit of land, with baroque churches, bustling piazzas, and views that glow at sunset. Just outside the city lie the famous salt pans, a landscape of gleaming pools edged with windmills. Here, salt has been harvested for centuries, and you can watch the traditional methods still in use today. The reflections of sky and water create a dreamlike scene, especially in the golden evening light. Back in town, Trapani rewards with fresh seafood — couscous al pesce is the local speciality — and a relaxed pace that makes lingering easy. It’s a place where history, tradition, and natural beauty all come together by the shore. We went to Salina Calcara - Saline di Trapani e Paceco and had a fabulous time there, they did a guided tour and a trip to their museum, as well as letting us don some boots and get a feel of life as a salt worker (Top tip: It's really hot in August!!). Address: Salina Calcara - Saline di Trapani e Paceco Highlights: Guided tour, museum, salt worker experience, chance to take some salt home!
