The story of the TARTUFO starts in the Calabrian city of PIZZO – a small fishing town on the region’s west coast. Pizzo is the undisputed home of Italian gelato – it’s known nationwide as the ‘city of ice cream’ and there are at least twenty gelaterias in the centre of the town....
Pizzo’s place at the centre of the gelato universe is largely thanks to the invention of the tartufo in the 1950s – plenty of families in the town made gelato before this, but it’s the tartufo that really put Pizzo on the map.
The gelato must be made without any additives or modern stabilisers and once you’ve managed to pour a respectable amount of melted chocolate into the centre, there’s the tricky business of sealing the tartufo without making a mess.
Today the tartufo di Pizzo is recognised as significant part of Italy’s heritage. It has been given IGP-protected status, meaning that the dessert must be made in Pizzo to be called as such. Artisans in the town don’t just make desserts for customers who walk through their doors, they also make thousands of tartufi to be shipped all over Italy.Tartufo di Pizzo: the greatest ice cream in the world...

TROPEA
Perfectly situated between Gioia Tauro Gulf and Sant’Eufemia Gulf, Tropea is swathed by warm Mediterranean breezes on a 40-kilometer coastline the Ancient Greeks named “Coast of the Gods.” What an incredible experience it is to see the dramatic rocky cliffs rise up against the sunlit sea of blue below, and if you’re fortunate, on a clear day you can see the volcanic Aeolian island of Stromboli.
Locals believe Tropea was founded by Hercules who named it Tropeas (Trophy) for the prize he had discovered.
Tropea is also famous for its “Cipolla Rossa,” a red onion with a mild and sweet flavour and aroma. It is Italy’s most famous onion. Local delicatessens use it to prepare red onion marmalade and local cafes serve up a delicious red onion ice cream. It may sound odd, but it’s a must try when visiting!

BIL BILCASTLE is a Moorish-style building, covered in red plaster and decorated with tiles and bas-reliefs from the exquisite Nasrid tradition. The building is surrounded by gardens with several fountains of Moorish inspiration, which gives it a special beauty. The construction dates back to the beginning of the 20th century, specifically to 1927, when the project began as a country villa for a wealthy family of the time. Subsequently, it has passed from one owner to another until 1980, when the Benalmádena Town Hall decided to acquire it as a cultural facility, a role it retains to this day, hosting exhibitions, concerts, conferences.
