The Other SICILY

Dear Friends cyclists,

I want platitudes that Sicily is a land of mafia and criminals. It 'true, it is right and proper to hide it. But Sicily is not only this and the story is too long and complicated to say how effective it is. So much so that today we have a proliferation of criminals in every country in the world and across all social categories exist, each in its own way. And, 'however, a minority that has arrogated the power to overwhelm a host.

But we want instead to propose the other Sicily, the history, culture, art, and make known the good people, lots of good people. Note that multitude. Which works, produces and receives, as best you can who puts her foot in this case the wheels of bicycles, in Sicily and is proud of belonging to their land. We want you to know, riding along the coast of Sicily, the beautiful sea, the places which are crossed in a setting that smacks of Arabic - Phoenician - greek - Norman - turkish - Viking and other empires that have occupied this triangle of land

In the morning arrival in Palermo, the ship can admire a breathtaking landscape. And already it feels lowered into history. Palermo - the start of the first stage and the last arrival. Palermo, with its history, its monuments we visit on another occasion. Yes, because every year was twice this "tour of Sicily," making the day resting in a different city for cycling, but above all to have time to get to know places that are crossed.

We often us to attract passionate and we do travel abroad, for goodness sake, they are welcome and it is fair and pleasant you know the world in which we are fortunate to live. But we strongly believe that first of all it's nice to get home, the villages around us and gradually more and more distant ones: the provinces, the regions of our beautiful Italy.

It is with this intent and pleasure that we are going to organize this tour of Sicily, hoping that you enjoy it and you have the opportunity to participate. It is with this hope that I salute you and send you THE PLAN (click) - DETAILS OF STEPS (click)- GENERAL PROGRAM (click) - PACKAGE OF PARTICIPATION (click)
