Be careful in the parking lot. Unfortunately, cars are often broken into here. Do not leave valuables behind and do not store bags in plain sight in the car.

Testa d'Acquua is a semi-unknown town, known above all to riders on bikes or motorbikes due to the water fountains present there. One in the village and a wash house just before arriving in the village. In reality, there is also a NATO radar dome nearby. The town is practically a wild west scenario, quite desolate. But there is a well-stocked grocery bar for a stop!

a small square, in a town with ancient, village rhythms and flavours, without haste. The church of Sant'Antonio Abate in Ferla is a place of worship located in via Vittorio Emanuele in the area called the Quattro Canti of Ferla. From an artistic point of view it is the most complex of the city's churches. Built after the Noto earthquake, note the absence of the left tower, which collapsed after the 1908 earthquake.

The square of Palazzolo is the baroque square par excellence which led to the attribution of the title of UNESCO Heritage. The church was built after the devastating Noto earthquake with a new style that was in vogue in the 1600s. Baroque indeed. The church is stupendous, towering above the square, full of solemnity and sacredness like few others.

this cycle path runs along an old, disused railway that started from Noto. Paved and restored, it is pleasant, running along incredible landscapes with a gradient never exceeding 5%. Halfway down the track, water oozes from the walls, collected by a small tube. The water is drinkable
