Information:
Monte Pellegrino iMonte Pellegrino is a beautiful promontory that rises upon Palermo, and one of the most ancient symbols of the Motorsport in the world. This is where the famous Monte Pellegrino Hill Climb circuit starts, the first uphill car race dating back to 1908 created by Vincenzo Florio. Over the years, the event has been growing and reaching places like the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia (the saint patron of Palermo). Goethe named Monte Pellegrino the most beautiful headland in the world, as it overlooks the City of Palermo on one side, and a spectacular downhill with a view of the enchanting beach of Mondello on the other.
The historic Favorita Park Circuit was the first of the two rounds in Palermo. In the paths of the Natural park of Favorita four editions of the Targa Florio where held from 1937 to 1940, where around 150 four-wheeled jewels paraded from all over the world: Ferrari, Lotus, Maserati, Porsche, Fiat, Abarth, Lancia and others. Favorita is also the largest park in Italy.
Mondello is a small seaside resort with a wonderful beach just a short ride from the center of Palermo. Mondello is more than just a beach resort; it's an education in Sicilian custom and rituals.
Cefalu’ is a Norman town, included in the club of "The most beautiful villages in Italy".
