Views & Flavors - Cava dei Modicani

February 19, 2017 
Cava dei Modicani, with its natural westward exposure, is bathed in a unique light throughout the day. This, combined with its characteristic geological formation, has made it one of the most cultivated and utilized canyons over the centuries for ancient trades and crafts. We will explore its natural beauty by trekking along the entire ridge of the canyon, standing before the "twins": Monte Raci and Monte Racello.
The views and hidden corners of our walk today will be set against the backdrop of the typical Ragusa valley, which offers glimpses of the Iblei coast.
Our excursion will conclude with a well-deserved break at the Iabichino agriturismo, located right within the canyon; here, we will savor ancient flavors and delicious traditions.
