Between Canyons and Ancient Paths: A Spring Hike in the Iblei
April 25, 2025
In the heart of the Iblei canyons, between Torre San Filippo and Cava Volpe, we rediscover ancient paths that have been all but forgotten: old mule tracks that once divided the fields within the “Ciuse” (traditional stone-walled enclosures), and forest trails immersed in nature.
Far from the crowds, we’ll enjoy this holiday with a special picnic: a taste of local legumes and a selection of artisanal breads from Pasticceria Pavone - Pasticceria Artigianale e Contadina, accompanied by the renowned local olive oil from Chiaramonte Gulfi and a surprise dessert to finish on a high note. An authentic experience blending nature, tradition, and local flavors. 🌾🚶♂️
