Path 6: Case Florio

The easy dirt road, which leaves the village, reaches Cala Fredda, continues to the left along the pine forest. After the junction with the forest paths for the coves below and the ancient tower, you reach a large viewpoint that opens on Favignana, ideal for watching the sunset. Further up on the right are the Case Florio, a large farm, now abandoned, at the service of a vineyard of which there is no trace, but which colonized a large part of the basin that, still today, is called "Piana dei Florio". The architectural structure of the palace is interesting, different from that typical of the buildings used for agricultural production, Worthy of a restoration also for agritourism purposes. Just before the houses you can admire a beautiful secular specimen of terebinth in tree formation.

Typical vegetation: Aleppo pine, Euforbia dendroides, terebinto, fig, mastic, caper, oleaster, prickly pear, agave.
