Activities, attractions and tours

I loved the view better than the town itself, we had clear skies, and it reminded me of Rio. #blue

The view from this very old town atop a huge mountain was amazing and I even managed to catch a rainbow. To get to Erice, take a scary bus ride from Trapani or a cable car if it isn't too windy.
