On the northwest coast of Sicily, lying and enclosed in the bay between the Zingaro nature reserves to the west and Monte Cofano to the east, stands San Vito Lo Capo - City of Cous Cous, a dish of peace and symbol of integration between peoples and cultures different.

Its climate, the beach, the sea, the streets decorated with flowers, fresh fish, intense aromas and its landscapes offer tourists the opportunity for an unforgettable holiday. Of particular interest are: the Torrazzo, the Sanctuary and the small temple of Santa Crescenza, all in the Arab-Norman style. Between San Vito Lo Capo and Castellammare del Golfo the hilly slopes that slope down to the sea, in a myriad of small bays, announce the beginning of the Zingaro Nature Reserve.
