Beautiful but in April the road was difficult for us because of the clay soil. Thick placards stuck to our mountain boots. Probably less of a problem in drier weather.

"The hill, called rocca spaccata or jacca, “fissure”, shows us two parts separated by a void and tradition has it that the rock split with Jesus' last breath on the cross".

Cammarata and San Giovanni Gemini have grown together over the course of history. The part of Cammarata is older and more worth seeing. Cammarata also has a train station down in the valley. About an hour's walk. Cammarata belongs to the province of Agrigento.

Cammarata is a city in the Sicilian hinterland, located in the province of Palermo. Its strategic position close to the Sicani park makes it a very convenient destination for exploring the area. There are many treks that depart from or cross there, of which the most important is perhaps the Magna Via Francigena.

San Giovanni Gemini is a municipality with sixteenth-century origins. Its Renaissance elements are very well preserved. San Giovanni Gemini is also known for its triumphal chariot dedicated to Jesus of Nazareth, which is used on the occasion of this festival, and which is the largest in Sicily.

Santo Stefano Quisquina is the main inhabited center of the Monte Cammarata natural park. In addition to being an exquisite provincial village, it is also convenient for visiting the main attractions of the area: the Andromeda theater and the sanctuary of Santa Rosalia.
