Morning
Spend a morning in Modica , stopping by the church of San Giorgio of Modica Alta on your way into town. In Modica Bassa, visit the Museo Iblea delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari SA Guastella (see Museo Iblea delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari SA Guastella, Modica) with its excellent collection displayed in recreated homes and craftsmen’s workshops. Walk down the Corso Umberto I towards the Duomo, passing cafés, shops and buildings that incorporate parts of pre-earthquake structures. At Corso Umberto I, 156, visit the biscottificio of Donna Elvira Roccasalva for a taste of Modica’s traditional sweets.
Drive along the SS 115 to Ragusa Ibla crossing one of the tallest viaducts in Europe into a fertile land of citrus groves and carob trees. In via Capitano Bocchieri pick up a map of the maze-like streets from the information office. Next door, have lunch at Ristorante Duomo .
Afternoon
Spend the afternoon wandering through Ragusa Ibla to see the Duomo, San Giuseppe and San Giorgio Vecchio. You can study the Baroque façade of the Duomo from under the trees in the lively piazza with a treat from Gelati DiVini (Piazza Duomo 20) – their ice cream is made from Sicilian wines. But don’t fail to walk through the narrow side streets where tiny alleys are connected with staircases and tunnels, for a taste of authentic Ibla.
