Aspra a small little fishing village on the northern coast of Sicily about 30 minutes outside of Palermo. Unlike Cefalu and Trapani, this area is mostly void of tourists and has a very quaint and relaxing feel to it. Dogs and cats roam the streets and share the same sun-bleached tones as the buildings they lay in front of. It has a beautiful coastline and a cute little downtown area filled with cheap but good restaurants, and bars and all of the townspeople are warm and friendly. There is even a Michelin star restaurant not too far in the adjoining town of Bagheria. It's honestly the perfect spot for a romantic vacation. Giacomo was an excellent host, arranging transfers for us to the train station since we didn't have a car. If you're going to Sicily and don't want to deal with the hassle of navigating tourist traps and want to be amongst the locals and truly relax, this is the place for you.
