Sicily: drive to Boomerang camping (near Menfi) / Baglio Vecchio – 1. – 3.2.2026

As we left Nubia, we drove past many flooded fields and roads.

Just after Mazara del Vallo we joined a road that ran along the coast.

We were fascinated by the big waves and the atmosphere. The damage of the recent storms was visible – e.g. the playground probably looked different a few weeks ago!

In Torretta Granitola we stopped for a coffee, and ended up having a meal 🙂

It’s a lovely village. The ruffled birds had a cheerful song and, in my opinion, are spotless starlings.

The roads were getting worse, and we had to put up with a few detours.

In Tre Fontane, the streets mostly run parallel towards the sea, and they are numbered.

More detours.

It was getting late by the time we reached the campsite Boomerang.

The camping in daylight. The reception is at the bar …

… which is right at the beach 🙂 These photos are taken at different times.

Storm damage was being repaired. We often saw signs „cows on the road“ – this time, there really was one!

The following day we drove to Selinunte – this will be in another blog.

Sunset at Boomerang Camping.

We enjoyed a good meal at the bar. The wine was from the vineyard next door.

The ghost in the sky 😉 and the full moon. We detected this lovely night-peacock.

The following day we drove inland to visit a place we read about. People were working in the vines.

The place is near Liotta.

We came across a tower. There was not really anything to see… not even a path 😉

We headed to a house nearby, the Baglio Vecchio.

It’s an „Agriturismo“ – a farm with guestrooms. They were closed for the season, but we found a few people there.

The people gave us a key to open a gate somewhere in the fields.

It was very marshy.

Some nice flowers.

We never reached the gate… It was just too swampy for me. Rubber boots would have been handy.

We then drove to Selinunte again to go for a walk in the national park there. That will be in another blog, too. The next day we left Boomerang camping.
