CULTURAL PARK FARM — Attraction in Favara

This place is really worth seeing!

We tried to go the day before but couldn't find parking that felt "safe" with our luggage clearly visible. We went again on the next day and still had to search for a parking spot for quite some time (Favara centre has many narrow steep roads).

Cultural Park Farm is quite hidden. A part of the place can be seen without a ticket but it's definitely worth visiting the exhibition. The lady at the entrance was very friendly and informative. You can also visit a second part of the farm for ca. 7 Euros more but we didn't have enough time. The part that we saw (main building+ 3 outside) took us more than 2 hours and we could have spent even more. There is also a nice coffee place that sells special kinds of beers and sweets.

Very colourful, interesting (info available in English) and detailed. A project definitely worth...

This is a must where to go and visit. It is interesting the story of this place. the old city center of Favara got desolated since people started moving in the outskirts.

After this event a rich notary decided to invest in the city center in order to renew it and let people feel interested again in it. A lot of international artists come here periodically to paint walls and drawings which are then given to the community. It is a very interesting social experiment where the effort of a small group of people may change the sort of a unknown city. Now the city is full of hotels and B&B, something unthinkable tens years ago.

The place is full of restaurants and pubs. A lot of young people hang out here, especially in summer time.

I definitely...

Worth a stop for those interested in art. €14 for all exhibitions, there isn't that much to see outside but that part is free if it's all you want to do. Parking around was a little tricky, we followed guide book advice to park on Via Umberto but still took a while to find somewhere. Once on foot there are signs directing you when you get quite close to the location and we found it easily. Exhibitions were worthwhile. Clearly a work in progress, they must be expanding all the time. Staff were very friendly and helpful in explaining...
