From the guide
- The Nebrodi in a day: what lies behind the coastGuide
86,000 hectares of beech forest, lakes and pastures, with mountain roads that climb from sea level to 1,300 metres in an hour. It's the other half of the holiday, and almost nobody uses it.
- What people eat here, and whenGuide
Between coast and mountains everything changes in half an hour's drive: bluefish and citrus below, cheeses and meat above. A short guide to what to look for, in the right season.
