Half day excursion (about 4 hours). Every day at 9am and 430 pm. Pick up from your hotel
Price Euro 50 per person
Minimum 4 participants
Follow in the steps of Salvo Montalbano and the other members of Vigata's small police force. Mimì Augello, Montalbano's second-in-charge, Fazio, Gallo, Galluzzo and the incredibly stupid yet likeable Catarella, who mans the station's phones.
The tour starts in the city centre of Montelusa (Agrigento): here we find the Commissioner's office (Questura)and Piazza San Francesco, the place where the very idea of Vigata came to Camilleri's mind. We walk along Via Atenea to the Santo Spirito Library where Montalbano finds the book that helps him understand the mystery of the Terracotta Dog
Transfer to Villaseta (The Snack Thief ) and continue to Vigata, passing by the Pasture. Stop at the Tower of Charles V (described in Camilleri's first book) and at the pier to admire the sight of Vigata from the sea. Later, we walk in Vigata city centre to Salita Granet and Caffè Vigata with references to various works of Andrea Camilleri that are set there (The shape of water, The scent of the night, The terracotta dog, The excursion to Tindari, The voice of the violin). Leisure time to partake the small towm atmosphere which surrounds Camilleri's characters
Continue to Marinella (Montalbano's house) and Scala dei Turchi, another place often described in the novels
