I’m not quite sure how, or why we ended up at Alcantara Gorge.
I suspect we had exhausted the charms of Taormina and we were looking for a way
to fill an hour or so, and there was a throwaway line in a guide book that made
it sound interesting. There were six of us, but that was OK; we had a big car. The approach to the gorge isn’t auspicious. It’s like a low budget theme
park with a rather empty car park and turnstiles. But the gorge itself was a
surprise. Sue is a geologist so she loved it. I can’t remember the technical
explanation behind the curious rocks. It has to do with the volcano (the gorge
is on the foothills of Etna). I don't need to know. But it is pretty spectacular. Worth the trip if
you’re visiting Taormina.
