an extra- program during the tour...




 Ragusa Ibla

almost a timeless atmsphere
in a magic silence

just my voice talking 
about one of the most authentic 
Sicilian Baroque beauty
to my tourists

when

a voice on a megaphone
shouted 
announcing
the arrival of fresh fruits and vegetables

in just a few seconds
some local people in the surroundings
appeared around the little cart

my tourists run away
towards the crowd
leaving me at the top of the stairs 

taking pictures
laughing
and I with them


the lady you saw in the picture
told us 
she needed 
fresh spinach for her scaccia 

 so the following question was:

Lucia, what is a scaccia??

and in a moment 
the magic Baroque was forgotten
and we started talking about
the magic Sicilian food...

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
