Walking along Trapani"s Beautiful Harbour

Trapani's sickle shaped harbour was where Peter of Aragon landed in 1282 to begin the Spanish occupation of Sicily. You can see the in the distance, the hilltop town of Erice. After our walk along the harbour, we encountered a parade of locals in authenticSicilian dress.  We then proceeded to have an Arab inspired meal at a restaurant that had the most amazing collection of Marionettes!  Marionettes were first introduced to the island in the 18th century by the Spanish.  They depicted the deepest sentiments of their life, including love, treachery and a thirst of justice!
