The Cavagrande Nature Reserve, established in 1990, is located between Avola, Noto and Syracuse and extends for 2700 hectares, surrounded by the Iblei Mountains. The Cassibile River crosses it by digging deep canyons that reach 507 meters. In the valley you will find a system of small waterfalls and ponds with fresh and clear water. Parking at the start of the trail costs 3.50 euros for the whole day. There are two well-marked entrances: Path A (left) is longer and Path B (right) is shorter...

A walk in the beautiful city of Noto, in the oldest part. An excursion suitable for the whole family. Starting from the Porta della Montagna, the first section takes place on the road to get to the Hermitage of Santa Maria della Provvidenza, passing by various historical relics, and then returning to paths surrounded by the ruins and remains of the old city of Noto.
