From Monte Raci to Monte Badia - A balcony over the plains (RG)

October 06, 2019
Our walk today starts from the slopes of Monte Raci, the last hill overlooking Comiso and the entire plain of Gela. Climbing up to its 611 meters, we will have the chance to admire a panorama that stretches across the Iblean coast and beyond. Descending along a royal 'trazzera' (ancient livestock trail), we will enter Cava Savona, enjoying a lush stretch of forest. The 'sentiero dell’infermiere' (nurse's path) will be our next destination, a trail created by the long marches animals once made to carry seeds and harvests from the valley to the hills of our Iblean lands. Our loop trail will conclude by returning via the “scannalupi” path. The natural corners of Cava dei Modicani will accompany us back to the starting point.
