We are staying 2 nights in Castellammare so rode to the Zingaro park for a short hike. We don’t have great footwear for hiking so only walked in to the first beach for lunch and to take in the belvedere. It was a bit of a climb so we got our exercise anyway which was needed after the breakfast we were offered which was was amazing. Unfortunately Tara had to turn most of it down but George was able to partake fully starting with a pistachio cream croissant followed by a freshly made omelette, bacon and a nutella crêpe, also fresh, and Italian coffees made to order. They thoroughly spoil their guests here.
Anyway back to the park. The area is quite dry and barren looking, like the Kamloops Area. There are apparently many orchid species growing there as well as birds to see. We didn’t manage to see any of this, only the beach which was quite crowded and there was a fair bit of garbage in the water. Our guide book described it as unspoiled, I wouldn’t have said that but perhaps I didn’t go far enough in to appreciate it fully. It was a nice ride with good view of the ocean and island nonetheless.
