Crepuscolar Ray Above Favignana and Nubia Salt Ponds

If you are looking for breathtaking sunsets in Sicily, then the right destination is the salt pans in the province of Trapani.
Watching the sun set over the sea, in the silence broken only by the slow lapping of the waves and immersed in the scent of saltiness, one feels soothed. The soul softens, worries subside and we marvel at a twilight ray that manages to overtake the island of Favignana, painting a portion of the sky red while the remainder shows its cerulean colour with shades of green.
The mind wanders and thinks that this very stretch of sea was the scene of the decisive battle of the first Punic war between Rome and Carthage won by the former led by Lutazio Catulo in 241 BC.
Once again, Sicily appears to us as a place of excellence where history and nature come together to give us visions of marvellous cultural depth.
