I wanted to go back to the Western Sicily for a long time but every time, for one reason or another, I always ended up elsewhere. Finally this time everything went smoothly and I decided to take advantage of a cheap Ryanair flight to Trapani to spend the April 25th long weekend in the area. I had already been to Sicily in spring and I consider it, together with autumn, the best season to visit it: all the fields are in bloom, the vegetation is luxuriant and the mild temperatures are perfect for moving around even on foot without getting sunstroke.
