Salemi

Tuesday 11th August 2009 sees the return of the annual SAgra della Busiata.

A sagra in italian is lets say " a food tasting festival"

Busiata originates from the italian word Busa which is an iron instrument used to make tools to make italian pasta.

So in good true sicilian style all the local restaurants will have stalls across the town centre offering you tastes of their favourite sicilian dishes. Over 600kilos of pasta will be cooked during the evening.

The eveing starts at 8pm till 11pm with the food samples and street entertainment, which is followed at 11pm in Piazza Alicia with folklore music.

Tickets are 3 euros available from most local shops. Come and join us meandering through the streets of Salemi, start at Via Amendola, and enjoy the local cuisine.
