There's no place in the Church too!!




In questi giorni Marina di Ragusa(in inverno poco più di 4.000 abitanti -in estate oltre 60.000!!) è talmente affollata che non c'è neanche un posto libero  in Chiesa!!!
Non resta che sbirciare dalla porta oppure guardare attraverso la finestra la statua della Madonna di Portosalvo che verrà portata in processione per mare  la domenica di Ferragosto :una tradizione di molti piccoli centri marinari

These days Marina di Ragusa (in winter just about 4.ooo people but in summer more than 60.000 !!) is so crowded that there is no place free in the Church.
You can just  have a look through the doors or through the window trying to see the statue of Madonna di Portosalvo that, as usual, will be carried in procession by sea next 15th August (Ferrragosto) : a tradicion in many little fishermen villages.

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
