From Agrigento and the valley of the temples we drive a very winding trail to Not o for the night. The terrain changed from desert dry to verdant during the journey. Romans had cut down the trees to grow wheat and it is still being grown today.
taking a small road north to the highway we found ourselves looking for lunch in a small hilltop town of Raguda. No sandwiches were available so pastries and prosecco was consumed! Delicious and we met the baker who spoke no English but liked that we enjoyed her baking!
we w found out way to the BnB very close to the ancient core. The building is narrow and very old but has been finished new. We have a small room, but bigger than the San Vito room, with a modern bath. The ceiling is wood with beans with looks old. A deep hole in the floor, covered with heavy glass, lights up to show the many layers beneath.
Not o had an earthquake and rebuilt in Baroque style so I imagine this tunnel is a glimpse of the past.
breakfast at 8:30 then we move to Syracuse for the day and on to Aicreale for our last three nights. Storms are brewing but hopefully we can still see Aetna and Taromina.
Hope the weather holds for you.
