The tour continues with tastings at traditional delicatessen shops, where you will sample local cheeses, Messinian “pasto” cured pork, olives, olive oil, and other regional delicacies while learning about the area’s rich culinary heritage.
The experience concludes with a unique street art walk featuring the powerful murals, who will be presented by the artist himself, who shares the stories, symbolism, and social messages behind his work.
