Aspra - by the sea at the East end of the Palermo's Gulf facing the capital city of Sicily. Typical are the wooden boats (lancitiedde in local dialect) vividly colored. The first traces of the town are thought to belong to the period of Arabic domination in Sicily. Aspra was also the favourite retirement place of the poet Ignazio Buttitta and where the Italian aeronautical hero of World War II Francesco Tempra grew up. Fishing is the primary economic activity of the town, with local anchovies being exported worldwide.
