Acireale lies in the shadow of the majestic Mount Etna and with its beautiful narrow streets, ancient houses and the lava portals with masks, it is a charming town, known for its delicious rice timbales called arancini. One of the most exciting events of the island folklore, is the Carnival of Acireale.
Another beautiful seaside village is Acitrezza. Every night here opens the old "Fish Market". There you will find the most varied species of fish, from tuna caught off the stacks, swordfish, seafood, the white bream, amberjack from sardine. For the inhabitants of these small towns to preserve their identities is a value that must be safeguarded. They do not intend to give up to their roots, despite the historical and social transformations.
