Milazzo was the city we stayed in for 7 days during our visit in Sicily. One day we decided it was time to visit Milazzo too, although we first thought it's a small town without any important attractions. We found in our bookguide of Sicily this Castle, situated in the tip of the "peninsula" said "why not?". We entered the front yard, where the ticket-office was and I went and asked for 3 adult tickets, as I am not a kid anymore, according to usual ticket offices. An old man (around 60 years old) greeted me, asked for my age and than said I would enter for free because I am a good girl:) He then said : come with me, in Italian of course. We don't know Italian and he didn't know english but despite this he started talking & talking in Italian. He took us to all the "private" places where normal tourists can't go. He than told us he is the manager of the castle and loves to do that. He took me by my hand and we walked in the yard for sometime and he was telling us the story of the castle which once was a fortress. Even if I'm not an Italian speaker, with my Spanish little knowledges, I managed to understand more than a half. We wouldn't ever imagine a manager of a castle would privately make us a tour, just because he liked us when he saw us. It was a thrilling experience which I think, I won't forget. Take a look at the breathtaking view and at a picture of me and him:) I must say the design and the rehabilitation of this old castle full of history are incredible and very very very well conserved and despite his awesome skills of guide, the manager did the best job here:) with the building of course! That's why I love Italy, Italians and their food and places. Everything is made with love and dedication. Everything!
