taste
Sicily is famous for its delicious sweets.
In the province of Agrigento the “ciarduna a la camastrisa” are traditional fragrant wafers enriched with coarsely chopped local almonds, filled with sweet ricotta cheese and finished with a puff of icing sugar.
The contrast not only in flavour, but of the consistency of the wafer and the ricotta creates a genuine sensory experience!
touch
Between one building and another in the garden of the Valley of the Temples, it is easy to find centuries-old olive trees that silently watch the events unfold.
Their gnarled, rough and often twisted trunks seem to stand guard and tell a timeless story: when caressing their bark, you can sense how they are infused with the whole majesty of Akragas’ history.
smell
When the six hundred citrus trees in the Kolymbetra Garden begin to bloom in spring, there is nothing more beautiful than losing yourself in the sweet scent of the shoots, which, over time, is replaced by the more sour scent of juicy oranges.
