Monday Hike - From Ragusa to Chiaramonte Gulfi

May 24, 2021
As part of our well-established program, we continue to create proposals for a variety of outdoor activities. “Moving to feel good.” This year, we have added medium and challenging itineraries for those who have Mondays free. The idea was suggested by the many hairdresser friends who have joined our hikes, and we thought, why not? The years 2020 and 2021 taught us that we should never take the time we have for our plans for granted, and that flexibility is useful for us and for others. Opening our program to meet people who have free time outside of the traditional weekend slots, as a way to stay active and in shape, seemed like a great idea to us! Today's hike starts from Ragusa, and the initial part takes us through the Valle San Leonardo until we reach Contrada Conservatore. We will cross this stretch of the Iblei plateau amidst dry-stone walls, green fields, and the colors of spring flowers. In the second half of the route, we will be treated to views across much of Sicily, stretching from the Mediterranean to the north of Etna. Before arriving in Chiaramonte, we will pass through the San Marco and Serragrande districts, stop by the Ferriero spring, and finally conclude in Piazza Duomo.
