Backroads Day 1: 15 bike miles, Buccheri, Noto Valley, Castello di Camemi
Lisa met her
Backroads
group (21 guests, 2 guides, 1 support driver) in the morning and shuttled to
Buccheri
for lunch.
Buccheri is in the
Noto Valley,
located in the
Siracusa province.
Farming is the region's major source of income.
The Osteria where the group had lunch was lovely.
The brothers who own the Osteria only serve food that is sourced within 5 km of their restaurant.
The ingredients ranged from mushrooms, tomatoes and eggplant to
cinghiale sausage.
Lisa met her bike after lunch and rode 15 miles through wind turbines, cacti, and poppies to
arrive at her hotel for the next two nights:
Castello di Camemi.
The
Val di Noto
is a World Heritage site.
The 8 towns in the valley were rebuilt after being destroyed by an earthquake in 1693.
The towns represent innovations in urban planning and are larger than many of the towns that Max and Lisa rode through in Tuscany.
Pretend that there is a view of
Mt. Etna
in these photos: unfortunately Mt. Etna was hidden in the clouds.
