Sferracavallo, Fishing village in Palermo, Italy.
Sferracavallo extends along 600 meters of golden sand beach, situated 13 kilometers northwest of central Palermo beneath limestone cliffs.
The settlement developed from its initial role as a coastal fishing community, maintaining traditional maritime practices through generations of local fishermen.
Local fishermen maintain Mediterranean traditions through daily catches, preparation methods, and distribution of fresh seafood to restaurants along the waterfront.
The village connects to Palermo Centrale station through hourly train service, with a journey time of 30 minutes and tickets costing 3 euros.
The harbor contains small wooden fishing boats and drying nets on the quay, while the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve provides a natural backdrop.
