    “Ein kleines, aber nicht verschlafenes Städtchen, das alles bietet, was man für einen entspannten und schönen Urlaub benötigt, gute Restaurants, tolle Cafés und gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten.
    Man sollte sich nicht von der optischen Erscheinung mancher Gebäude abschrecken lassen.
    Es ist wunderschön zu sehen wie einige Objekte liebevoll und mit viel Engagement restauriert werden und vor allem junge Leute tatkräftig sind.”

Along the corso, the Via Madonna del Ponte, you will find several bars where you can have a real Italian breakfast with a cornetto (a croissant filled with cream, marmalade or sweet ricotta cheese) and a cappuccino. You can also try homemade ice-cream in a bun, which is typical for the south part of Italy. If you'd like to give it a try you just order a brioche con gelato, you won't be disappointed! Most of the town's shops, cafés and super markets are located along or close to the corso. In the heart of Balestrate you will find the town square and the recently renovated church.
