September winks at food demonstrations and reviews in western Sicily since Cous Cous Fest a S.Vito lo Capo al Palermo Food Fest at the Fiera del Mediterraneo.
And then there is that corner of South East Sicily, where you can come and taste the typical scaccia (focaccia), in the province of Ragusa.
Buying it directly in the bakeries, immersing yourself in the smells that are released and consuming it while you are out and about, is something ancestral.
You can also find it in Scicli, in addition to the well-known "arancini di Montalbano", and it is a delicacy, the Ragusan one instead differs in the dough and the seasoning, exquisite. The seasoning is enclosed in swirls of pasta that can remind us, as we read long ago, of a marine vortex.
According to a legend of the Modica area (15 min from Casa Sustanzia), every year, on the night between 24 and 25 January, a mermaid leaves her home at the bottom of the sea to get closer to the beach and prophesy the future to those who succeed to hear the song.
We are also in that corner of precious land: House Sustanzia - tourist leases - Scicli, Sicily.
