La Bella Sicilia 💗
Sicily is an island in them Mediterranean, very close to Malta (around 2 hours by boat or 30 minutes by plane) It's rich in ancient Greek ruins, home to the tallest active volcano in Europe - Mount Etna, and it's capital city, Palermo, has recently been elected the European Capital of Street Food. Those facts do not nearly summerise all of Sicily's beauty and history.
This was not my first time visiting Sicily, as I had been there 3 times before, but something about it makes you want to go back. You'll never get bored of that place, as there's always something
new to discover.
Whereas during all my other visits to Sicily I've been to the north/east region, this time I visited the west part. This includes cities such as Trapani, Erice and Marsala. In my opinion I feel that this part of Sicily is often underestimated when compared to the north/east region and not given as much importance as it should. It may not be the most industrialized area such as having huge shopping complexes, which one will find on the other side of Sicily. But it's beauty and history is rich and intriguing.
I was honestly impressed with the amount of stray dogs there. It made me really sad, especially having adopted a stray from Sicily myself, seeing how they live and how they just want to be loved - as the simplest bit of attention they got made them so happy.
Enough blabbering, lets get to the pictures 💗
