Yes, certainly worth a visit the mill of Infersa, what – together with two other mills – is part of a themed walk in the salt marshes “Ettore e Infersa”.

They, the ancient windmills – all with six blades, fully functional – arise in the salt marshes of the Lagoon of Trapani, in the heart of the natural reserve of Stagnone. Do not forget that this is an area rich in history, opposite the island of Mozia, one that offers unforgettable horizons, dotted with mills, erected on top of the towers of the castles on the heights. http://beyondgondolas.com/2014/07/31/la-via-del-sale-from-trapani-to-marsala-to-enjoy-a-creative-salt-tasting-and-a-stunning-panorama/
