SICILY CASTELMOLA MAY 4

We left the hotel and drove up to Castelmola. It was an incredible climb of 500 metres along a switchback road and hairpin bends. It was difficult to comprehend how the town was built on top of almost shear rock. Tom led us on a little jaunt around the picturesque streets and up to the castle ruins.
