The site is still closed in 2025, but you can approach the fence where you can observe one of the most distant volcanoes. Furthermore, there seems to be a possibility of a "soon" reopening. The macalube (or maccalube) are small mud volcanoes formed by a rare geological phenomenon called sedimentary volcanism: methane gas pressure causes gas, water, and clayey sediments to escape from the subsurface, forming mud cones very similar to volcanoes. The term likely derives from the Arabic maqlùb, meaning "overturning" or "upside down," referring to the lifting and overturning of older materials brought to the surface during eruptive phases (from the web).

From here you can access the Valley of the Temples, a vast archaeological site that preserves the monumental remains of the ancient Greek polis of Akragas, including seven Doric temples dating back to the 6th–5th century BC. Since 1997, the Valley of the Temples has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This basilica in the heart of Agrigento is a baroque church with an elegant façade and interiors richly decorated with stucco and works of art.

Wooded area with many cycle paths.

Such a warm little village. I was in the bar opposite the church on the piazza and was greeted so warmly as if I had always lived there. Next to the church is a beautiful mural and I also had a good meal at il Pellegrino.

Aragona is not the prettiest village on the Magna Via but it is comparatively large and there are several restaurants and bars to stop at. Almost everyone goes to "la botte del Pellegrino" where there is a special menu for hikers.
