During this itinerary you will have the great opportunity to learn about the history of Petralia Soprana, founded by the Sicans, then inhabited by different populations: Greeks, Byzantines, Arabs and conquered by the Norman King Roger. We will visit the old town center, looking out from its viewpoints, where we will admire an amazing panorama that stretches all the way to the looming profile of the Etna volcano. You will be guided among the numerous magnificent churches and admire the many monuments and artistic wealth of the old town. In between courtyards and little alleys you will fully immerse in the atmosphere of the village.
During the guided tour we will also have a taste of the town’s flavors: local cheeses and charcuterie, some traditional biscuits made with cinnamon; and last but not least the famous “sfogghiu” of the Madonie, a special cake of which we will learn more about by visiting the local pastry shop and cafe Bar Aspromonte.
