Sagra dell’Asparago Selvatico Sicano

Sant'Angelo Muxaro, a charming village perched in the heart of the Platani Valley, is preparing to celebrate the III Sagra dell'Asparago Selvatico Sicano, an event that represents a unique opportunity to discover one of Sicily's least-known gastronomic treasures.

The food and wine stands offer both classic and innovative creations, always maintaining the utmost respect for the raw ingredient.

Beyond culinary offerings, the event provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Sant'Angelo Muxaro, a territory rich in archaeological evidence and still-living local traditions. For those visiting Sicily in spring, this festival represents an unmissable destination for anyone wishing to discover the true face of authentic Sicilian gastronomy.
