great weekend ... we just started from one of the most 'spectacular Sicily ... the pearl of the Ionian, Taormina (ME) , which houses one of the beauties of maggiorni my region ... is the ' ISOLA BELLA , a small island located a short distance from the coast at times, because of the low tide, can be reached without diving into the sea! ... Indeed, as often happens, the beauty of you more 'neighbors are those who do not know or that you have not time to see! ... It was the first time we went it! ... It 's been a great surprise, both for me and G., be able to see up close in a place you had ever heard! The island is inaccessible as a nature reserve ... But in the past it was owned Bourbons before and after Lady Trevelyan, grandson of Queen Victoria, that the redevelopment by building a quaint little house rare plants and precious woods (just like the famous Villa Trevelyan in the center of Taormina) ...
Another beautiful stage of that same day, before reaching our hotel ... were GROOVES Alcantara near Giardini Naxos (ME) ... Situated in the valley of the river Alcantara, are high up to 25metri wide and between 2 and 5metri ... Nate but not by water erosion from seismic events that split the rock of the lava eruptions of Etna making you lodge the river ... The gorges are part of River Park along with a series of ponds and cascades of water very cold even in summer ... the whole area is characterized by a rich flora and fauna. Here ... for me it was a return after more 'than ten years, while G. was the first time ... and I was glad that he was the first to dive "nicely" in the cool waters! :)
... now I post only for a few, our photos on Facebook ... but the story continues in the prox post! :)
