Shopping in Erice

What to buy in Erice? Apart from the usual tourist souvenirs (T-shirts, magnets, postcards, etc.), it's typical to buy pottery and handmade carpets in Erice. In the cobbled streets there are hundreds of small shops, especially in the Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Via General Salerno. If you've got a sweet tooth, you can not leave without trying their famous sweet almonds, especially Maria Grammatico's, an institution in the city, the recipes are the nun's legacy. Typical Sicilian sweets are the cassata (marzipan, ricotta and candied fruit), and di vergine seni. The ice creams are also delicious.
