Morning
Start the day with a visit to Trapani’s market in Piazza Mercato del Pesce. Well-stocked vendors are anxious to offer tastes of cheeses, olives and tuna. Pick out a few things for a picnic, then stop at the bakery on the corner of the piazza and via Torrearsa to round out your goodies with a pane conzatu , the sandwich you see the fishermen eating for breakfast. Walk down Via Torrearsa and pass under the arch into via delle Arti where Colicchia makes the best cannoli in Sicily (see Cassata and Cannoli).
Follow via delle Arti to the piazzetta della Cuba and then via della Cuba down to piazza Notai. Take a look at Sant’Agostino church with its 14th-century rose window, before passing through the arch and back onto via Torrearsa. Going down Corso Vittorio Emanuele crane your neck to see the green majolica domes of San Lorenzo Cathedral, before reaching the end of the peninsula to enjoy your lunch and the sea views.
Afternoon
If you haven’t spent all day shopping in Trapani, spend the afternoon up in Erice, with its good picnic sites and superb views. Or take the hydrofoil to the Egadi Island of Favignana.
Make it back to Trapani in time for the sunset to take part in the local passeggiata , then enjoy a wonderful traditional dinner at Ai Lumi Tavernetta .
