Traveling along the "salt road", which leads to the biggest lagoon of Sicily, you'll wholly admire the beauty Nature has given to this area, nowadays one of the most important for the economy of the town of Trapani. You'll see the characteristic wind-mills, some of them entirely operating, and the huge basins where the salt is collected; a halt at the Salt Museum is obligatory.By boat we'll reach the isle of San Pantaleo, where the ancient Punic city of Mothia rises.
