Day 41 - San Vito di Capo, Sicily


Today we drove north up the west coast, about 30km, to a town named San Vito de Capo. The town is home to a huge national park and some of the most remote and sandy coastline in all of Italy. The beach we intended to go to was closed due to fire and wind, As was the national park. The landscape here is like nothing we have seen before. Perhaps it looks a bit like rio. Huge rock walls, 2000 feet high, fill your view as you pan the landscape. Suddenly the rock ends and the turquoise sea takes over. The water stays shallow for almost 500 feet as you wade out into the water. Looking back the rock walls make a dramatic contrast to the crystal clear water you are standing in.
