モーイオ・アルカンタラのおすすめライド

Excellent pastry shop

The current Basilica Sanctuary was built recently (1957-1979), but the history surrounding the cult is much older, dating back to the late eighth and early ninth centuries. A ship coming from the East, loaded with goods, including a statue of the Virgin Mary that had escaped iconoclastic persecution, was forced to dock by a violent storm. The sailors were forced to disembark, but the ship remained motionless. So the occupants decided to lighten the load, leaving the chest containing the statue of the Madonna Bruna on shore, among other items. The ship set sail again and continued its journey.

Pretty town on the northern slope of Etna, at an altitude of 750m

Great bar and pastry shop where you can stock up on calories before, after or during your ride. More info on https://www.pasticceriacautela.com/

Particularly worth seeing during Carnival time when the Maiorchino cheese is rolled through the village: https://www.comunedinovaradisicilia.me.it/il-torneo-del-maiorchino.html

A work of art made of gold and colors. But I especially like the view. There are many souvenir shops, bars and a restaurant here.

Impressive black church in Randazzo

It is the largest church in Randazzo, dating back to the 13th century. Unfortunately it was ruined by the Anglo-American bombings during the Second World War.
