Vacanze Daniela
is in Portopalo of Capo Passero, the
more south country of the Sicily, in tre Syracuse province,
so to south to be even itself 50 kms under the parallel
of Tunisi. The coast alternates long beaches, characterized
by sandy dunes, to tall bluffs to peak on the sea. The
inhabited center counts around 4000 residents and has
an altitude of 20 meters over the sea. The long Course
Vittorio Emanuele crosses it from an
extreme to the other, connecting the zone of Scalo
Mandrie (famous for its beaches and the archaeological
recoveries) and the Fishing Port, heart
of the Portopalo's economy, that lives also on the agriculture
and the tourism besides the fishing. Portopalo was founded
by Don Gaetano Moncada baron, that, at
the end of 1700, financed the construction of some little
houses of fishermen to own expenses in the zone Scalo
Mandrie. However, some recovered archaeological finds
testify that traces of human installation in these zone
are also a long time ago.

HOW
TO ARRIVE TO PORTOPALO |
|
|
-------- |
"
And when the sun rises you remain here to look at the whole
game of the lights that colours this sea and these places
without time, and the whole air has the taste of the salt
and has the same odor that the ancient sailors, dealers,
great conquerors, pirates without country, thievish of treasures
or noble gentlemen looking for their glory felt: if you
plunge you in this sea you make a bath in the history...
"
" And when the sun colours of red the horizon,
and you listen to the sea that softly caresses the sand
and the rock-cliffs, then you think that, when your vacations
are ended and you will return home, you can tell these emotions
to your friends, to your relatives. It's impossible! You
won't succeed in finding the words to express what you have
tried because Portopalo can live only and cannot be told.
It would be as to try to tell a dream, a beautiful dream
from which we don't want wake up. Really, Portopalo is a
dream, and to continue on dreaming you only must return...
