Where to go in April?
In Sicily, the month of April is perfect for enjoying nature, but also for discovering places rich in history, tradition and art. Furthermore, during Holy Week you can follow many religious events such as the processions of Good Friday (April 18, 2025) of Erice, Marsala or the famous procession of the Mysteries of Trapani, one of the most exciting events in Sicily.
We can consider San Vito Lo Capo an excellent logistical base for exploring Western Sicily, without giving up pleasant moments of relaxation on its splendid beach or enjoying a good couscous for dinner.
Here are some destinations that you can easily visit during your stay in San Vito Lo Capo or in its hamlets of Castelluzzo and Macari:
1. Zingaro Reserve
A natural paradise with panoramic paths and breathtaking coves. Get ready to live one of the most rewarding spring experiences, where the sea and the green of the Mediterranean scrub merge in an immense scenario that has remained the same for millennia. The Zingaro Reserve , a place inhabited by man since the Paleolithic age has reached us in all its beauty. (Paleolithic Cave of Uzzo)
2. Scopello and the Tonnara
Picturesque village overlooking the sea where the famous stacks of the Scopello tuna fishery are located. A panorama that enchants and leaves everyone speechless.
3. Erice
Medieval village with spectacular views of the city of Trapani and the Gulf of Bonagia. Among the many things to see: the castle of Venus, the Balio garden, the Cathedral and the Spanish quarter. Its conventual sweets are worth tasting, among which the Genovesi stand out for their goodness.
If you find yourself in Erice on Good Friday , don't miss the procession of the Mysteries which takes place along the narrow streets of the village.
4. The Procession of the Mysteries of Trapani
The Procession of the Mysteries of Trapani is an event that has been repeated for more than 400 years, a religious event whose origins date back to the Spanish domination, one of the oldest in Sicily, where tradition and history blend wonderfully.
In Trapani, a walk on the ancient Mura di tramontana overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea is a must. Don't miss the Museo Regionale Conte Agostino Pepoli where you can admire precious coral objects and jewels.
5. Segesta
Perfect destination for those who want to immerse themselves in the ancient history of this corner of Sicily and at the same time experience a beautiful moment immersed in nature.
Visiting the Segesta Archaeological Park is a truly exciting experience: a perfectly preserved Doric temple and a Greek theater with a breathtaking view.
6. Custonaci and the Mangiapane Cave
From the Sanctuary dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary to the small village enclosed between the rock walls of the Grotta Mangiapane. This place surprises with its simple and genuine beauty, perfectly representing the values of rural Sicilian culture.
Renting a car will definitely be the best choice to explore the area at its best, fully enjoying this itinerary that combines sea, nature, culture, tradition and gastronomy.
