Are you fancying for something exotic but flying several hours is already depressing you?<br \/>\n<strong>Sicily is your answer.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf the Europeans of the eighteenth and nineteenth century travelled all the way down to Sicily facing bandits, bumpy roads, flooding and never ending winding roads, there must be a reason, do not you think?<br \/>\nIs it the mix of <strong>spicy and sweet flavor<\/strong> of the atmosphere of the Sicilian cities and towns?<br \/>\nThe dimension of <strong>magic and sorcery<\/strong> which wraps you once you are there?<br \/>\nOr again the <strong>excellent food of incredible colors<\/strong> and tastes and the robust red wines smelling of sun?<\/p>\n<p>It is really difficult to say but for sure this little triangle in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea was, is and will be an amazing place you need to visit once in a lifetime.<br \/>\nAnd there is no better moment to visit it than Easter holiday and no better place to start your visit than Agrigento and its Valley of Temples.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

The virgin refused the knight as well and the poor devil decided to try a last trick: he wrote her a love letter.<br \/>\nJust a few can say to have been so lucky as to have seen the piece of paper and they all report it was no more than a <strong>mess of geometrical figures<\/strong>, marks, lines and associations of words with no real sense.<br \/>\nDid\u00a0the devil win the girl defenses? No one knows.<br \/>\nNo other written traces of this legend have remained. Maybe the girl was overwhelmed by tenderness and she offered the handsome knight her beauty.<br \/>\nVery likely the letter was simply a pretext to justify her retirement from earthly issues, voluntarily or not this remains a mystery.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-3097 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/easter-holiday-sicily-temples-churches-gourmandises\/easter-wreath-courtesy-of-marzia-bonetto-via-flickr\/#main'><img width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Marzia-Bonetto-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Marzia-Bonetto-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg 270w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Marzia-Bonetto-via-Flickr.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3113'>\n\t\t\t\tEaster wreath courtesy of Marzia Bonetto via Flickr\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/easter-holiday-sicily-temples-churches-gourmandises\/jasmine-flower-for-easter-wreath-courtesy-of-matricola-394762-via-flickr\/#main'><img width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Jasmine-flower-for-Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Matricola-394762-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Jasmine-flower-for-Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Matricola-394762-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg 270w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Jasmine-flower-for-Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Matricola-394762-via-Flickr.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3115'>\n\t\t\t\tJasmine flower for Easter wreath courtesy of Matricola 394762 via Flickr\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2014\/04\/easter-holiday-sicily-temples-churches-gourmandises\/easter-wreath-courtesy-of-karin-and-the-camera-via-flickr\/#main'><img width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Karin-and-the-camera-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-5-3112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Karin-and-the-camera-via-Flickr-270x200.jpg 270w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/04\/Easter-wreath-courtesy-of-Karin-and-the-camera-via-Flickr.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-5-3112'>\n\t\t\t\tEaster wreath courtesy of Karin and the camera via Flickr\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3><strong>Easter wreath and chats<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You cannot praise yourself with the title of \u201creal Sicily connoisseurs\u201d if you fail this final test: the weaving of date palm leaves, white ribbons and jasmine flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go through the preparation for the proof:<br \/>\na.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Code dress:<\/strong> wear your most sober clothes, black dress welcome, and black sheer stockings the best.<br \/>\nb.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Attitude:<\/strong> sitting in small group of 2\/4 women.<br \/>\nc.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Place:<\/strong> at street corners, in the far away corner of a city square, just outside the home threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if the previous conditions have been accomplished you are ready to start: <strong>weave the palm fronds<\/strong> with the jasmine flowers and the olive branches and create long Easter wreaths.

of pasta frolla, cinnamon, milky cream and zuccata originally created for the wedding ceremony of a Palermo nobleman, they are now well known all over Sicily and even further.<br \/>\nd. <strong>Sweet
