For those wishing for a quiet and tranquil holiday
with healthy food but active, Forza D'Agrò is the ideal village. This
village is ideal for its culture, its strategic position, its climate at
any time of the year, all to the tourists' requirements. In the winter
evenings it is damp but not cold the village acquires a surrealistic
aspect, with its deserted streets illuminated by the street lamps and
the bar insignas. In the spring there are flowers in the meadows and you
can smell their scent in the air. Even if Etna is not yet active, the
climate is mild enough to go for long walks. In the autumn one can smell
the must ( grapejuice before fermentation) while walking along the
antique lanes. In the summer the Sicilian hot sum radiates the clear
blue sky as if to celebrate the antique beauty of the valley which
degrade towards the sea
where one can sunbathe until golden brown.
Fowls, fish and meat (sheep, cattle, pork) are part of the second
course - rabbit cooked in bitter-sweet, the Messinese meat balls, roast
sausages, sardines and many other fish dishes, not forgetting the
traditional tomato sauce with maccheroni. All these delicious dishes are
ready to satisfy anybody's appetite. Seasoned whith the local olive oil
and served with the local red wine, the tradtional horsd'oeuvre and side
dishes of fresh greens, aubergines, pickled peppers, black and white
olives and dried tomatoes. And for a light refreshmet a lemon granita (a
grated ice drink) is expertly prepared by the local barman. |
