For most of the year, the Val Calanna is covered by a yellow and green blanket of broom. You must take the chance to smell its fragrant yellow flowers....
On the route, the Val Calanna, and in particular the top of Monte Fior di Cosimo or Monte Zoccolaro, is the first point where we can observe a vast area of eastern Sicily....
