The last day is fully uneventful, I take the transfer from the Birgi Vecchi hotel to the Trapani-Birgi airport and return home.
Approaching Sutera
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this hike. It was a really good fit for what I wanted this trip to be:
- Really friendly, genuinely hospitable local Sicilian people in the small towns.
- Amazing food - I especially enjoyed the pasta and fish dishes.
- The right difficulty level, with the gentle hilly terrain being easy on the knees.
- Great opportunities to practice my limited, but gradually improving, Italian.
- Lovely scenery of hilly, agricultural landscape.
- Good trail condition and marking, except for some rubbish being strewn on the sides of the trail near towns and industrial areas.
- A few other walkers, enough to have somebody to talk to from time to time, not so many as to feel crowded.
- Convenient, reasonably priced accommodation.
- Pretty good weather in early April, though the latter half of the week was a bit too hot.
My packing selection at 5.8 kg total, 3.3 kg non-consumable and 2.3 kg base weight was also working well this time.
