"A Ricotta o Castellu" - Trekking, Nature, and Iblei Traditions

May 19, 2024
Like all traditions worth keeping, there is nothing quite like fully immersing yourself in nature, the Iblei countryside, and some fresh, warm ricotta. We will set off on today’s hike from a site of great historical, natural, and archaeological significance: the Grotta delle Trabacche. We will continue along the path that leads us toward the Castello di Donnafugata, passing by other important hypogea and crossing the typical Ragusa “ciuse” (dry-stone walled enclosures). We will have lunch at a local masseria near the castle, enjoying traditional products accompanied by a good glass of wine. After lunch, we will head back to wrap up our wonderful Sunday hike.

Fee: € 25.00 - Includes guide services, accident insurance, excursion organization, and lunch featuring warm ricotta, cheese, homemade bread, and good wine.
Not included: Travel to and from the meeting point.
Meeting point: Sunday, 19/05/2024 - 09:00 AM at the Grotta delle Trabacche parking lot (link below) along the provincial road 13 from Ragusa, Contrada Cento Pozzi.
