Favara (Italian and Sicilian: [faˈvaːɾa]) is a town and comune of south central Sicily (Italy), in the province of Agrigento, 8 kilometres (5 mi) north-east of Agrigento by road, with which it forms a conurbation.
Historically, the town has had a considerable agricultural trade, and there are sulfur and other mines in the neighborhood.[3]
It is regionally famous for the Easter Lamb, a local pastry produced there from almonds and pistachios.
