Giuseppe

October 16, 2024, Santuario Madonna dell'alto - percorso ad anello da Petralia

Thanks to the fact that you are going to a sanctuary there are a few more signs, compared to other Madonie routes. Wide views, shame about the fog. Be careful on the descent, the pilgrims' path is bumpy in the upper part
