Palermo

Palermo is the capital of Sicily in the province of the same name, and is located on the north-western coast of the island in a marvellous inlet by Monte Pellegrino, described by Goethe as “The most beautiful promontory in the world”. The Sicilian culinary tradition is saturated with fragrant products, flavours that are the right mix between the sea and the land, just like the geographic make up of the island. Sicily was conquered and influenced by many different races and this can be seen in the large number of dishes (full of spices, various aromas and produce) that are found here. Palermo is a city of almost three millennia of history, beautiful palaces and churches, colourful markets, marvellous food and a distinctive cultural identity.
