The Strada Provinciale 21 leads from Trapani to the most South Western town of Sicily, Marsala. When you take that road you suddenly realize that even though the distance between both cities is only 30 kilometers you actually travel into a different world. Africa. With its colorful facades, the almost tent like apparition of the one story houses along the road, everything changes on this little stretch and reminds you not only of the Saracen heritage but also the simple fact that Africa is so much closer than Rome.
