 What a nice surprise: natural soaps made like grandparents used to but with new flavours  making soap more fragrant and tasty!!! A few days ago I found in Marzamemi a  stall called AMICI PER LA PELLE  - BEST OF FRIENDS , a group of young Sicilian producers from Enna who has invented an interesting line of  natural soaps  made at cold temperature so that it  keeps its natural active principles, without using palm oil or parabens and not tested on animals! They have no shops and at the moment you find them all around Sicily  at festivals and fairs! here their contact: amiciperlapelle1@gmail.com It was  quite difficult to choose among such a variety of soaps so well displayed before my eyes ! Then I had:  ginger& mint soap - energizing and refreshing lavander green tea & almond: moisturing and cleansing

  Duomo square-Ortigia :from Beneventano Palace

Some clouds at the horizon rough sea red flag  but... è durata poco!  sunshine again and scirocco blowing again!

This is the way I look at Sicily! colourful sweet  full of surprises and contradictions but beautiful! Taste Sicily with a qualified local guide! The taste will be much better! --------------------------------- La Sicilia  è un pò così: coloratissima dolce piena di sorprese e di contraddizioni ma  bella! Conosci la Sicilia con una guida turistica locale qualificata Sarà tutto un altro sapore!!!
