Capra d'Oro and the Irminio Valleys

Our hike starts in the historic center of Ragusa Ibla. We will follow ancient mule tracks that lead us to the surrounding hills, where we can admire a sweeping panorama of the Ragusa valleys as they converge into the Irminio river.
The first section follows a dirt road along the San Leonardo stream until we reach the Irminio river. From there, we will take a 'regia trazzera' (ancient royal livestock trail), once used by our grandparents to reach Contrada Sant’Icono and the village of Frigentini.
Continuing along the ridge, with Ibla always in view on the opposite slope, we will reach Torre Bussello, passing by Capra d’Oro. From there, we will descend towards the Ponte di Ferro before heading back to close our loop.
