My Sicilian Obsession ~ Forza d'Agro'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When I was first planning the Sicilian leg of my most recent Italian adventure, all my Italiani were raving to me about how fantastic Sicily is, and how it is the best place in the world, the best food in the world, and how it has the best people in the world.<br /><br />Now, allowing for the fact that with their sexy accents I would happily listen to them recite the phone book, front to back, all day long, I was always delighted to hear them wax lyrical about the little island at the toe of the boot.<br /><i>"Cor-eeen-ahhh, you weel loff eet"</i><br /><i><br /></i>But just as Americans get passionately patriotic over the stars and bars, I assumed my Italians were just attaching an equal patriotic fervor to their fashion, their food and their Sicily. I knew I'd love the place, but had no idea how hard I would<i><b> absolutely fall in love </b></i>with it.<br />And how my Italiani have laughed at me over that one.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Nell'Azzurita</span></i></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIIhYArAJ10SJjd1M_p3fYlB9E7u-vrXp05gWhBams-0CQXfystroMawLOn3TgTSafeq4HW56u4Zq_jAYMVdKzOJzGEVkTxvxvFvG21qGoAu9bJJ3PkBCFji60PtgU2P_dFVoloIeMFpw/s1600/forza+d+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIIhYArAJ10SJjd1M_p3fYlB9E7u-vrXp05gWhBams-0CQXfystroMawLOn3TgTSafeq4HW56u4Zq_jAYMVdKzOJzGEVkTxvxvFvG21qGoAu9bJJ3PkBCFji60PtgU2P_dFVoloIeMFpw/s640/forza+d+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Forza d'Agro', Sicily</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Anyway, one of the fabulous little places I found by accident while in Sicily, was the lovely little <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forza_d'Agr%C3%B2">Forza D'Agro'.</a><br />Situated on the coast between Taormina and Messina, Forza D'Agro' is not typically found in tourist books. (which generally means I'm going to love it).<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLxZmzmJJwX_pCoFm7NtKTQuXG1wdjGdtIQCg9dCCrrHeUJlTzO88abN6IsFYQkDrcBkWxrtNyMf_xr386KJiH7yP2kcXNdYuJmwK86zXW7xZXe5fEZP5KEr76WE_q4Xq5C8yHZYVRSGs/s1600/girasole.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLxZmzmJJwX_pCoFm7NtKTQuXG1wdjGdtIQCg9dCCrrHeUJlTzO88abN6IsFYQkDrcBkWxrtNyMf_xr386KJiH7yP2kcXNdYuJmwK86zXW7xZXe5fEZP5KEr76WE_q4Xq5C8yHZYVRSGs/s320/girasole.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">starting the day with cappuccino at Il Girasole</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br />I only found out about it because a couple of locals were helping me plan out my day over toes-in-the-sand breakfast cappuccino.<br /><br /><br />They totally shanghai'd everything I was planning on doing, and instead came up with all kinds of fantastic places to go see, experience and eat at. (remember, Sicilians are incredibly warm, fun loving, friendly people). And they love to give you the inside scoop on the best local places to hit. No doubt owned by family members, but you are welcomed with open arms, and I adore that.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The drive along the coast from Taormina/Mazzeo/Letojanni to Forza d'Agro' is gorgeous and easy. Which is just great because the drive up the hill is like the drive up the hill to Ravello. On acid. Super steep hairpin bends that double back on themselves, perfect if you're fearless and if you're driving a stick shift.
