Sicily: San Vito Lo Capo / Monte Monaco – 25.-29.1.26

The first time we drove to San Vito Lo Capo it had rained a lot.

Most of the route is the same as the one to Castelluzzo, either going round Monte Erice or through the village of Valderice.

We passed Monte Cofano and then Monte Monaco and some other hills …

… and then, of course, this stretch of coastline with its magnificent surf! That day wasn’t the only time we stopped to admire this scenery 🙂

San Vito Lo Capo.

Some details, amongst other things: street art, cats and an interesting prohibition sign.

The signs of the heavy rain and high waves were visible everywhere …

… even at the lighthouse.

Monte Monaco and the beach of San Vito.

The rain returned that day.

When we reached the coastline with its magnificent surf the rain had already stopped.

We were mesmerised by this wonder of nature!

Driving back to Nubia.

Another day we decided to do the Monte Monaco walk. We parked our van at San Vito.

From there we walked uphill.

We soon gained hight and saw San Vito from above.

The scenery is lovely, with the rocks and vegetation 🙂

We could see down the other side. The national park Zingaro is there (but closed at the moment…).

We didn’t go all the way up to the very top, but stayed on the saddle for our sandwiches. My shoes weren’t looking their best anymore 😉

We then walked down on the same side that we came up, but with a big detour.

A quarry that looks unused.

Nearly back at San Vito …

… and driving back in the evening light.

Another day we visited San Vito. The drive there …

… with a stop at the coast with the magnificent surf.

San Vito Lo Capo.

We had a nice lunch at the Cinquanta Passi right on the beach.

The beach.

Street art is often very well done! Cat colonies are a common sight.

Sand everywhere, bearing witness to the heavy rains and storms. Funny „police station“ 🙂

We decided to drive to the starting point of the Zingaro national park, even though it was closed.

The man in the cubbyhole confirmed that the park was closed. We yet have to try from the other side 😉

Driving back to San Vito and …

… as the sun settled …

… to the coast with the magnificent surf 🙂
