A trip off the port

Here are some suggestions for an out-of-town trip: do not miss the Cathedral of Monreale, where you can find flavors that refer to the architecture of northern Europe and to the Arab art, its cloister; the abbey of San Martino delle Scale; Mondello for its beaches and the Art Nouveau bathhouse on stilts; the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia; Monte Pellegrino; Bagheria with its noble villas and the museum dedicated to the great Sicilian painter Renato Guttuso; Cefalù, favorite destination of millions of tourists for the crystal clear sea, the wonderful beaches, the Christ Pantocrator of the Cathedral of Cefalù and the Mandralisca Museum containing the works of Antonello da Messina.
