I
read in a book about Favara's Cultural Park and it took my attention,
because Favara is one of the Sicilian towns with the highest
unemployment rate and lots and lots of ugly buildings. We made our way
to Favara, followed the GPS and ended up in a worn-down street where
apparently nothing was happening. We squeezed ourselved through one of
the open windows and ended up in this arty neighbourhood getting ready
for a new season with cool bars & restaurants, exhibitions, wall
art, installations and lots of positive energy. It was buzzing with
action and a nice change of what we had seen of the village so far. It
is cool to see initiatives like this in an apparently dead city - the contrast could not be bigger.
It was truly an inspiring visit.
