Considering a trip to Agrigento? With this guide I would like to convince you that Agrigento is much more than only the Valley of the Temples, there is a lot to discover and explore! Goethe in "Italian Journey" about Agrigento wrote: «Never in my entire life I have seen such splendor of spring as this morning at sunrise... From the window, we see the vast and gentle slope of the ancient city all covered in gardens and vineyards, under the thick greenery we can just make out some traces of the great and populous neighborhoods of the city of the past. Only at the southern end of this green and flowery slope stands the Temple of Concordia, to the east the few remains of the Temple of Juno, but from above the eye does not see the ruins of other temples... instead it runs south towards the sea.» This city guide will help you navigate your way around the city to ensure you get the most out of your short getaway.

Looking forward to hearing from you and if you want more info about beaches, how to reach them just drop me a msg! ☺️

Let's get one thing straight: Cheese is love, and while the French reign supreme in this kingdom! The Italians can hold their own pretty bloody well. Living in Italy, particularly in Bra- the proud home of Italy's ultimate cheese festival" Bra Cheese" - I have drowned myself in this cheesy paradise. This festival was founded by the slow food movement (which has its HQ right in Bra) it is a must for any cheese aficionado. The following festivals, Pro-locos and Sarga' are generally put on by local communities and often coincide with the celebration of patron saints and similar holidays. There are plenty more than just these, but from my experience, these are worth your visit. Now let's talk about the cream of the crop in the Italian cheese world. You cannot forget "the king" Reggiano Parmesan, a staple that deserves a permanent spot in your fridge. On the other end of the spectrum and country, there's Buffalo Mozzarella, a soft and slightly tart delight that screams summer. We cannot overlook Gorgonzola, with its range of mild and cream to bold and spicy. Crowd-pleasing favourite Ricotta and arguably the most versatile Italian cheese. A personal favourite, Taleggio, this northern Italian cheese especially when a little over ripe, is an unforgettable as a passionate date. Pecorino (the proper stuff - sheep's milk) deserves a mention - when it's good it's bloody fantastic! Get out of the main Italian cities and experience these wonderful countryside areas and the produce and producers that make them, the next time you are in Italy. "Blessed are the cheesemakers" indeed!
