The Nebrodi National Park is the largest nature reserve of Sicily, dotted with remote traditional villages rarely visited by tourists. This undulating landscape is covered with birches, oaks, elms, ash trees, cork oaks, maples and yews. Here, porcupines take their shelter’s, Sanfratellani horses, wild cats and numerous species of birds of prey such as the royal eagle, the lanner, the peregrine falcon and the griffin. Walking through it you will encounter ancient high-altitude pastures inhabited by hard working farming communities, which collect mushrooms, hazelnuts, produce a creamy ricotta and breed cows, sheep, horses, goats and pigs. Every time they meet a "stranger", they are very welcoming and friendly, they are characterised by an innate kindness and sympathy. The elderly peasants bring the signs of history and work on their faces, with their skin burned by the sun, and their smiles which are worth a thousand words. If you meet them while they are in the garden, they couldgive you the seasonal fruits they are reaping, so accept them and be grateful, they will appreciate it.
