Arriving in Ragusa Ibla is like stepping into another dimension. Perched on a rocky outcrop and surrounded by deep valleys, this ancient Baroque district reveals itself to the traveler like a living nativity scene, a tangle of narrow alleys, monumental staircases, and churches reaching toward the sky.
Rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693, Ibla preserves an invaluable artistic and architectural heritage, recognized by UNESCO. But it is the atmosphere breathed in its hidden courtyards that truly wins the heart. Living here or in the surrounding countryside, amidst the characteristic dry stone walls and white stone walls, offers a unique pace of life, made of quiet, beauty, and extraordinary flavors.
Tomorrow our journey will set sail for a dreamlike archipelago. Pack your bags!
