Tips from the Community
Unfortunately, if it weren't for all these mountains of garbage dumped everywhere, including piles of asbestos, and not just in this part of Sicily! It would be truly spectacular. I don't understand why no one is doing anything about it.

This fountain is almost an oasis in the middle of the barren, rocky, and barren stretch that characterizes this part of the coast. It's ideal for a break and a breather.

I rode my bike along the stretch that leads from Fontana Spina towards the Ciotta hamlet...never have my eyes seen such a disproportionate contrast of suffering between the beauty of nature and the neglect and contempt for that place by all the institutions and the people they represent. I hope that some enlightened person will do something.
